L.W. mix
    #26913215 - 09/02/20 06:14 AM (3 years, 4 months ago)

How does 1/4 lava rock, 1/4 calcium sand and soil mix, 1/4 pumice and 1/4 perlite sound for a loph mix? I germinated seeds in some coir/ calcium and sand/ coarse sand. But some of them are dying and i think this will be a better mix for them drainage wise and not so overnutrified.

sulfurshelf, this is a lot of information to comb through, but will help you in your journey.
Lots of experimentation with rock based soils without organic matter.

How old are the seedlings? If the seedlings are small the larger granule size media like lava rock will be difficult to work with. When working with tiny plants I sift my soil, perlite, etc. Are the seedlings in a baggy or something that is keeping in humidity? If so, you may try giving them more air circulation (slowly, over time). Especially if you suspect your soil is holding onto too much moisture. As far as light, if some look reddish or brownish they are getting too much light or if some look taller instead of flatter then they are not getting enough light. Let us know if you see any hints of why you could be losing some.

I'm on YT

My 10+ year old Lophophoras that I grew from seed make the occasional appearance with lots of other cacti, succulents and houseplants.

Ive killed a bunch of seedlings by now lol. This mix seems to be working. I had plastic covering a microwavable plastic tray that would let a little air in. Id say this batch might be about 3 months? Like I said I'll post some pics in a bit. The lava rock is pretty small i ordered it that way on purpose. I have them in a more air tight tray now.
