I have grown some seedlings, but I just used ordinary potting soil from the garden center as the medium. Worked fine. Hope that helps.
yeah i was going to use normal micale grow soil, but i was wondering if there's anything that helps them grow to there fullest potential thanks kaitain for the help
I use ProMix Organic. The advantage is that it has mychorrizal fungi (that plants need) in the mix. I guess that might be important for new seedlings, since a sterile soil mix would be devoid of beneficial fungi.
I would add some perlite (or suitable alternative) to improve drainage. Other than that, most good quality potting mixes will be fine.
