Hey Gloria, this is something I should have actually added about besseae - I do stress that water quality is important because it is a sensitive species (and all Phrags do best with pure water), but some clones are less sensitive than others, and water quality greatly varies. As well, with an acidic mixture like yours (I'm assuming your water raises the pH?), hard water may not be such a problem if the mix is flushed well frequently. Thanks for bringing that to my attention!
