Hector uses a sandy mix to propagate his newly received rhizomes.

Once the plants get sorted out the plant gets planted in the sandy southern tropical soil.

Here is a link to Hector's propagation pics.
All materials are purchased at the local brick-and-mortar store.

For indoor growing, you will need a lighter medium skip the sand in your mix, and create a traditional mix with lighter properties.
Here is a link with some takeaways from using a traditional customizable mix.

Perlite
Peat moss or well-aged bark
Pine fines-optional



Even more important is the lighting and temperature of the planned indoor growing area.
Without the correct environment, the soil is meaningless.
