For the first few minutes, I kept saying to myself, "Just break the damned pot, Steve!".

A few comments to save folks some effort:

EcoWeb is no longer available. It was identical to Epiweb, so if that's what you're after, you'll have to search for that.

Frankly, I'd think you'd be better off using LECA as that bottom layer, to wick more.

"Time release" fertilizer is a misnomer; the release rate is temperature-controlled - once wetted for the first time, fertilizer will exude continuously, faster when it's hotter and slower when it's colder, so be sure to purchase one that "sync's" with your growing conditions. Buy one intended for lawns (where it tends to be cooler) and use it in the house or greenhouse, and you might overdo it.

For plants like these that will be repotted pretty much annually, the slow-release fertilizers are quite good, but for a plant that might not be so well tied to a calendar, I'm not a fan.

If someone needs EcoWeb in bulk, pm me.
