potting mix is 1:1:1:1 vermiculite, pearlite, quartz sand, and peat.
my new mix which I don't like is APS, peat, pearlite, and vermiculite, too much breakdown of the soil.
I'm going to switch back to the 1111 mix after the holidays.
I don't think jaumavensis is rare, but they are a small ping and according to Jimscott are hard
to ship. I think I have had them up for trade a few times? I have about 50 of them right now.
they get a nice pink color under floros. LOL, last winter I tried to split a clump of them and ended up with LOTS of leaf pullings, instead of split plants.

they look like little flowers, thats what a lot of people tell me. they are surprised when I say those are the leaves and they kill bugs for fertilizer.

Again, zero, BEAUTIFUL plants!
I am glad you mentioned your potting mix. Last spring I started messing with APS with mixed results. I will soon repot some pings and check out the breakdown.
I seem to have had consistent success with 1:1:1:1 sand, peat, APS, and perlite.
I think I will try your method if it means my pings will lokk like yours!
