    kovachii / diatomite

    I grow my kovachii in a mix of small bark, sponge(perlite), small charcoal and crushed oyster shells. I use only rain water. I feed weekly with a 25% MSU or CA nitrate. I always adjust my fertilizer solution to 7.5. I grow mine in an area of my greenhouse cooler with a small a/c unit. George
