My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

What am I doing wrong?

14 years ago

I can get fig cuttings to produce roots and leaves in a mix of perlite and vermiculite, no problem.

Then I can put them in a mix of perlite and potting soil and they croak. It can be a little potting soil, a quick-drain mix about half & half, or potting soil with some perlite in it, but they all die.

I must be missing something here!
