Hi Tans
I typed you a long reply last night late, and the 'puter glitched, and I lost the reply.



I'm not an expert. I bet the experts would say something like this. You have a certain amount of topsoil, compost and peat moss mixed up. Add more peat. Add pearlite to equal about 25% of the whole mix. Use the fertilizer per package directions. Yes, you can add a little bone meal. You can water with Epsom salts in the water, but not too often because in a bucket, the salt can build up. If your plant wilts, it needs water. Outside in the summer it will need water every dry day. If you're still unsure, dig down 1" into the bucket & see if the soil there is dry; if so, water.
