my first semps (not from Lowes, I still have the Lowes ones), have been shipped. I'm off today and I need to mix potting soil, I have a formula for my onions that I am sure the semps will not like.
I need to make enough soil for the plants I have ordered. I can only find dolomite as a vitamin for humans, I'm not finding it online anyway at lowes or home depot. I have some hydrated lime but it contains very little magnesium oxide, for gardening. I do have epsom salts. I can get decomposed granite easily. I can get bone meal. for a base on my potting mix I am using peat moss and I suspect that might not be good for semps.
On a base for my water lilies i use black velvet, because it has less bark and organic debris in it, but Probably too much nitrogen for semps?
my existing succulents and semps are potted in Miracle Gro (not the moisture control kind) with perlite dust. i think I have some more of that. I had some in cactus mix. HELPPPPPP
