Gay Pumice
    #8058306 - 02/22/08 08:40 PM (15 years, 11 months ago)

Hey all,

I noticed that one of my San Pedros was growing really slowly and that the pot wasnt draining very well. So today i repotted it and found out why.

I had read and been told that you should use lots of pumice gravel with your cacti mix and a layer at the bottom for extra drainage, this is good and all if you have clean pumice gravel. Mine wasnt, it still had heaps of pumice dust in it which i assumed would wash away. It didnt.

After removing my cactus i noticed a large amount of gray mold in the soil system and at the bottom of the pot was this white 'cement'. Yay.. This cement was the wettened pumice dust which coagulated and bonded with the other pumice to form an almost completely water-tight layer, which was nearly impossible to remove by hand - even with a knife it was a bit tricky.

All is fine now, im hoping the mold will naturally fuck-off in my babies new giant pot and extra sandy mix - i might nuke it with some fungicide for good measure.

Next batch of pumice i buy i will make sure to wash out any of that powder that is there.. Lucky i repotted before it got too bad.

A bit of not-so interesting info, but it may be of some help to a few newbies like me.
