Now that I have some outdoor space I might give compost or manure a try. I've heard the cow or horse manure working well for catasetinae before.

When these are in full growth mode you'd have to try really hard to overwater or over fertilize them. And at least here in PA to give them too much sun is pretty much impossible.
