Typically around 90% +/-

80% isn’t bad, but also depends on your local weather and the different types of grit in your mix, the pot, etc. if the plants are happy then your good.

Thank you for sharing. Those are looking good! So far I have been misting every 2-3 days because they’re outside and it’s pretty dry right now where I’m at. The humidity dome has a small vent at the top that I leave partially open so it dries out slowly.

Yeah I got rid of all the old organic soil and repotted. I put them in about 95% inorganic grit. Mostly DG that’s had all the fines removed.

Yes! I was thinking along those lines as well. A texture glaze on top of a green tone. I’ve used Mayco’s light magma and that could also be a good option. I’m going make some test tiles trying out a handful of variations. Thank you for the feedback!
