Nitrogene is highly soluable - so you can leach your plantlets with tepid water and let it drain. I do not think you need to preload AV soil with fertilizer. For me it works better if i water every time with a very weak solution. Slow release fetrtilizer - Nutricote 13-13-13 comes highly recommended as well.

You can root the suckers without fertilizer - and sort it out when you repot them. Hard to predict how much they need at that moment - probably very little. You can root in vermiculite - but it can get very soggy - so keep it barely moist - and bag or cover the cuttings for 1-2 weeks.

Thank you! I'll do that for now then.

Yeah, I prefer to fertilize myself, but my dad bought these Miracle Grow bags which come pre-fertilized (even though I said to avoid them). It's such a hassle with the car I didn't bother swapping them out. Hey, they're still alive, I can work with that.

I think everything you buy in a big box store comes prefertilized. There is another additive there - moistener - which is some kind of soapy stuff that can make soil way too wet. would say that splitting the Miracle Gro soil with perlite - at least 30% will make it much more palatable for the plants. Otherwise it should be OK - you root suckers - you can remove outside leaves anyway - if the center is green - it is growing - I think the advice at this point would be - have patience and wait. TLC and fussing too much - kills. Let them be.
