I grow one of mine in geolite and the other in dyna rock and for the last year they have grown great .I read up on the mexi's and they grow on lime stone out crops . The dyna rock is very close to lime stone giving it plenty of calcium and silica which i have noticed they love and the rock is so well drained it keeps them in a dryer state.

I'm glad to hear it worked out for you . I hadn't realized until just now that this thread was so old - I thought it was new because of the recent bump.

No, I bumped it hoping to get a reply from Tom since he lives just down the road from me. I'll have to send him a PM.

Since we're on the subject of growing, any one grow them semi-hydroponically?

Cheers.

Sorry for the late reply Jim. As someone had already mentioned Windy Hill, that is where I got mine from as well.

Give them a call as they usually have divisions as small as 2 fans and larger available most of the time.
