Thanks for the reply I just used a cactus planting soil i bougth at a local green house.

Well after a bit of waiting, i was beginning to wonder if my germination attempt had failed. But I woke up today to a small suprise, Ive got a seedling. Its a peruvian torch and its going strong.

I did a search online for a simple growing tek and use...
