Does anyone here use ABG?

I've heard nothing but good things about this stuff. Just curious about personal experiences with the product.

[VicSkimmr]

I do, but I don't have any long-term experience to share. It definitely drains well, but past that I couldn't tell you much more.

Thanks. I need to drill out some pots and get some better soil. I'm killing pothos.. So I think theyre getting over watered our not draining. I'm using sphagnum and eco earth now.

I have phothos that grows out of water. Maybe you need to fluff your soil a little, maybe mix some rocks into it, or put rocks at the base of the plant.

I use ABG and it works pretty well for most of my plants, including pothos. The key is to keep it moist but not waterlogged. Pothos will grow in pure water but will wither and yellow in waterlogged substrate. ABG drains pretty well so if you have a proper false bottom or drainage layer under the substrate, there shouldn't be any problems.

ABG is the only mix I have used so far. It stays moist, drains well and does not seem to compact down too much. So far all my plants are growing very well in it. There are other mixes out there but I find the convenience of just ordering bags of it to be worth the cost and wait time for it to arrive.
