I want to repot my PIng Weser but I've been told that the mixture isn't a straight peat/sand-perlite mix. IS there a specific mix or is peat and sand/perlite good enough?
Weser is a mex-ping so a media of equal parts perlite, sand and vermiculite should work. You can also add peat, lava rock or milled sphag if you prefer
> a media of equal parts perlite, sand and vermiculite should work.
Pyro, are you saying that I can grow my Mexican Pings in an inorganic mix of perlite, sand, and vermiculite? If so, that would sure cut down on fungus problems...
I am currently growing some p.'sethos'(reverse cross of 'weser') in a mix of equal parts of peat:sand:vermicultie and perlite.
As for inorganic mixes, I use a mix of perlite:sand and vermiculite in equal parts for pings like medusina, and 'sethos' x gypsicola that like more neutral soils.
They do fine in organic mixes on the acidic side though.
I have never had any fungus problems with my pings, so I cannot give good advice there. Probably best to scrape off the fungus and give the plants plenty of air circulation.
