It is not often that one has enough plant material to try growing it using different media and methods to see what works out best. I was fortunate that with two plants, I could try growing it two different ways. One plant arrived in chunky potting soil and another arrived growing in coconut husk. I left the one in soil alone, but the one in coconut husk I cleaned up as best I could and put it into leca to be grown using passive hydro.
