err I am not 100% sure about it being in here, and should'int call it G2, co sI nicked it from some one else Embarassed

All the seeds we have tried it on works ok Flo and as Dom says its perfect for cuttings but careful taking them out dont try and take vermiculite off the roots, just pot it up with the stuff left on. I learnt the hard way and killed some very rare Leptodactylons.

Works for cuttings as well, and since I'm running out of vermiculite again, I've tried it with a compost vermiculite mix and it works with that anorl
