Question:

Hi everyone, I want to root an Italian Cypress. Can anyone tell me what soil mixture to use and about water.?

I've heard that Perlite is used instead of soil mixture. Please help.

Answer:

What you are proposing to do with your ingredients doesn't sound reasonable and will be a waste. That's if I understand what you want to do with them. If you just mix the bone meal, blood meal and potting mix, they don't add up to 15/30/30 and they are the only ingredients that have a nutrient value. Then trying to make them all into a water mix, along with vermiculite and perlite, which definitely will never dissolve, just sounds like a soupy mess and loss of your ingredients. You would be better off to buy a water soluable fertilizer like Miracle Gro or Peters and use that.
