Clyde, would you be alluding to the pro-mix that suffocates most purchased
potted plants? Yes, I would do this as I have lost numerous plants left in
that water retentive mix. Or, is it mites you are after. Ivy are the first
choice spider mites in stored or house grown containers. What is your
experience?
One other fact I might have added to my original post is that many of the
most attractive cv's do not branch well. The combination will give you a
fuller display.
