Default Re: Super Dwarf Cavendish Care...

The potting medium I use is a soilless medium - Fison's Sunshine Mix No. 1, mixed with graded pumice, 60%-40% ratio. Sunshine mix holds water for a very long time so I mix the 1/4" pumice to loosened it up a bit and allow the mixture to breathe a little better. If you have access to pea gravel, it may be substituted for the pumice. But pea gravel will make your pot very heavy. So, moving the pot in and out will require "a little more effort."
