Actually, their disdain for wet "feet" is well noted. They're pretty intolerant of either extreme. They are VERY susceptible to root rot and don't handle drought well at all.

In SC, my mix of lava & pine bark & turface at about 2:1:1 (maybe a little more pine bark than that) has done well for me. I water once a day. I think my mix of 1:1 turface:haydite is going to be a little too water-retentive but it should fall within tolerances.
