    No Idea either. reading a bit, both seem t be growing in neutral soils and grassy landscape. Any fast draining terrestrial media would be good I suppose.

    I also don't have a clue, but I am sure what Sriram said is correct as he did investigate them, good luck!

    If I have no idea like that, I use loose sphagnum, and haven't lost a terrestrial yet!
