You did awesome!....Coco fiber it's pretty good!....Later on, if you decide to plant your Nanas to the ground I suggest to use any combination of soilless mix, wherever it's available to you (using coco fiber, rice hulls, coarse sand, sphagnum peat moss, perlite and biochar-crush wood charcoal)!.....I personally planted all my Nanas to the ground using pool filter silica (round grit) coarse sand!......So far has been working flawlessly in my Nanas!.....It's a beast!....


Good luck!......
