Hi Amit..

Campu...People have been having good success with it when they grow it in burned earth..

Raff..Mixture of LFS perlite and maybe a little peat? I use mostly LFS/perlite and maybe a little peat for most of my neps..

3.?

4.?

Since it has veitchii parentage in it maybe a lot more aeration to the roots and a faster draining media..

Ken
