im a newbie so if any of you have any advice id love to hear it! eg should i put it in a propagator which has a heat mat underneath it and grow lights.

potting mix?
60% perlite to good rich peat soil. with some mycorrhizal fungi.

Well I followed the advice on my previous thread about finding it. I narrowed the search down and I found a seller who said he would send it to me. He’s in Manchester so it’s not from abroad. I was lucky I
Only payed £100 Which isn’t too bad. I’ll share a photo as I should get it today!

advice in the previous threads helped so
I owe it to you guys.
