That's one way to kill your plant :blush: seriously though, good luck hehe It's awesome to see how thick that stuff is!!
 
actually it was growing in perlite covered with LFS..........a quick dunk in a bucket of water got rid of everything.........transplanted it into a new mix.......
 
what is the new mix made out of? Thanks
 
you prolly dont want to know...........will let yah know if it works.........basically its an offshoot of my Mexi-Ping mix.........
 
Ok, I'm recieving a 3 inch+ reniformis tuber from a trade so I kinda wanted to know the best soil. So these things flower for you much?
 
never seen a flower.............if you want to know how i grew it to that.....it was a drained pot, 3 inches of perlite on the bottom, 2 inches of LFS on the top, top water when the top bit of LFS was dry to the touch...........however thats not what im going for, i either want huge leaves or small leaves and flowers, so im trying something else. however it grew just fine for 2 years like i stated, just not how i wanted it to.........
 
U. reniformis has my favorite flower in all of CP-dom. Holler when you find the 'secret'.
 
im trying but dont hold your breath.......everytime i change it i give it a couple years to see what its going to do.....done 2 changes since ive had it :grin:
