one sits in inorganic mix with seramis/Kanuma and a little organic

the otehr in pumice/ Kanuma with sphagnum added on top.
 
Very nice looking plants, especially for their second year of growth. This is a tough species to keep for very long.

I have them for this time, I thin they were very much older when I got it.
And it is the first bloom.
I keept them not frozen slight over 0C like formosanum, but maybe this is the problem why they are so early.
 
The best ting is for the most to use mainly perlite in pot, and add some natural stuff, or clay perls.
I have a mix of seramis and perlite with little organic for the most.
Some I have in seramis and calcium granulate and oters I use higher organic but only a few.

I dont use more then 10% of organic in pots anymore.

Expetion is Acaule but this is a hard topic, dont find a way which fit 100% for me at least.

Formosanum for example is very tolerant at least if it is light...
 
Akadama seems to be good, but is destroid after the first winter, so dont use to much, but a part seem to be benefitial, at least I feel that in my seedlings.
