Excellent community conversations base on the maintenance of Pingiculas thank you for sharing. 30+years growing CPS myself. Everyday is truly a learning day with them. 🌿🌿😍🌿🌿

I only grow two varieties, P. Sethos and P. Johanna and I grow them in a pot with a wick into a jar of filtered water. They are potted in FoxFarm Light Warrior soil mix. This mix is very airy and does not hold too much water. Yes, it has a light amount of fertilizer in it. I occasionally spray them with dilute Max Sea. They are doing beautifully and essentially I’m growing them the same way I grow my African Violets.

26:55 I just looked up the black diamond grit, I'd have to order it at my local big box. It comes in medium and fine. I'm using medium is the one to go with but hoping I could get a confirmation.
