Most folks make up their own potting mix, which is much more porous than a bagged mix, Jose. You can search the forum for "511" or "Gritty Mix" and find those formulas. Or, for a good bagged mix, search the forum for "Farfard" and see which of their professional bagged mixes are being used, and if it is available in your area.
