I got these advise from expert Ping growers here in Canada. Mineral based substrate is the best mix for Pings [Perlite, Coarse Silica, etc]. Too much peat moss may contribute to root rot.

That sucks man, I will never use LFS for Pings, they are only good with Neps in my opinion...and cuttings...

This is by far my favorite Ping, I'd love to get my hands on some seed or if someone could direct me to a site that sells them potted that would be great. The only site I found this on they only sold them bare rooted. :cry:
