I had to look that up, I'd never heard of it. Just the standard 2 pints of water per watering with half a level teaspoon of Chempack 8 - the soil it lives in has no nutrients and is more than 75% coarse sand.

The seedlings grow quickly as well. These are seeds of the plant sown in June last year and here are the seedlings on 10 Sept 2020 in a 2.75 inch pot.

Repotted into pure lava rock on 15 May 2021.

The same plants on 28 July 2021. Larger plants are 1.5cm diameter. Not bad growth for 1 year olds. Ignore the orange markings on some, I got lazy and watered from above once instead of dunking the pot.
