Thanks for the suggestion Vincent. Now we know that using just vermiculite works as well.

How about this burnt rice hull? See quite a couple of indonesian post mentioning sekam bakar. This is a popular media in Thailand and Taiwan for adenium. Anyone tried this before?

I bought a big back for very cheap before from Sg Buloh for my lawn and other plants. If this could be use, we could have a fairly inexpensive media.

This is a very airy media and we will need to do some adjustments to the pot or our cultivation routine. Perhaps have a water saucer at the bottom that is constantly filled with water. Lets us know what works and what does not.
