Not as of yet (only on corms \& propagations so far) but I’m curious to know how it works on a long-term adult plant too!

I put all my philos in some a week ago! Three red emeralds and one pink princess love it- the white knight is doing good too i think!

Oh! I just stumbled across the perfect video to answer this for us! Straight from a soil scientist!

I recently started hearing about it. I haven’t gone whole hog but I had some left over from my aquarium days so I toss a handful in when I mix up soil or fill a pole with moss. Idk if it does anything at that ratio but I like to do it lol
