Maybe.

I received 4 cuttings back in July, let them set to harden off for 2 week(forget them). I did not have the soils that I usually mix to grown my epis in and no way to go get it.. I had some Miracle gro soil so I potted them up and was going to change to better soil. But you know how that is. I only watered them 3 times in the .

Well today I went out to look at them and one of those pesty furry tailed rats had knocked one of the pots off. And I was surprised to see a cutting with VERY health root system. And I mean health, some of the best I have every seen. And fastest I have every had rooting to take effect.

I think I will try using this soil with more of my epis. Would make life much easy. LOL

Sandy the epi nut.
