Thanks for your comments! :shock:

What are the mix proportions used for the D. cistiflora in that third picture?

Well, as the medium for the D. cistiflora pot, I only use a kind of soil called 'kanumatsuchi' in Japanese, which we have traditionally used for growing plants.

Thanks Khelljuhg...I thought it was unique. I did a google search of "kanumatsuchi" and could really only find a few references to it. Among them I was directed to your Drosera Forum and found someone asking the same question getting the same reply from you. :D

So, what are the secret ingredients for "kanumatsuchi"? I couldn't find much about that.

Thanks for your nice comments! :wink:

Well, kanumatsuchi is a sort of volcanic pumice of an ancient time. Its porous and acidic quality seems to be good for certain kinds of plants.

Thanks for that reply Khelljuhg. If that old volcanic pumice is only found near Japan...then I am sure it is expensive to find imported around Europe. But, I do like the look of it. :D
