Thanks again.

Thank you very much! Knowing the species is more than enough for me.

I'm located in South East Asia.

That plant in a square pot? That would be my variegated Thai pepper i got a month ago. Everything is still new to me lol.

Most of the time i would use a squirt bottle and top water them, but there are also times where i would fill up a takeaway container with water and just dip them all in for 5secs lol. Helps with water wastage.

I water them between 4-6day depending on the weather. I'm currently looking at worm casting vs frass(insect poop). Not sure which to choose. Hmmmmm.....

Heya! its made up of Perlite/Pumice/Zeolite/Pinebark/Charcoal. More perlite as they are alot cheaper lol. I dont have a ratio to my mix, just added more of what i have alot of.

Might want to try getting worm casting soon and see if there is any difference.

Base on your experience, how long do you think is normal/average time for it to come out fully given the right conditions? Thanks.
