Hi! It's me again, I am planning to plant some Geohintonias and Aztekiums, but I want to imitate the natural substrate in which they develop, and as I can't get natural gypsum... do you think I could add chalk used here for Epithelanthas to my seedbed?
@olenuksi I am not sure what PH tehre natural environment is. If it is sandstone they probably will tolerate or love a PH around 7. Both species grow very slow on their own roots. So i would not add to much chalk, because it can slow them down even more.

One more question:
what is the peat/soil that you are using at 1:30?

@olenuksi It is called flugsand(flugzand) in Europe. It is a light weigthed sand from vulcanic nature. Sometimes called bimskies.

Once you know the conditions under which each species living in natural conditions, this should be easy
I need more research of each species and its habitat

@olenuksi that is right, including the geological conditions. It is part of the fun.
