Healthy little babies, I'm surprised you use such a free draining mix is there any soil in there ?.
Are you opening a shop ?.

Thank you. :)
There is a mineral mix under that, yes, but it's mostly the same in a much finer granulometry. I use very little "soil" in my mixes, and only for faster growing species.
I'm not opening a shop, but I do sell plants in markets and fairs here in Lisbon, mostly surplus seedlings and cuttings from my collection.
