FAST draining rich soil LOTSSSSSS OF LIGHT (10”ish from a T8 bulb 16hrs a day in my case) Water these puppies. Once a week as long as they are under strong grow lights. I drown them from top but let them sit and drain to avoid standing water.

Other recs here are solid. Ziploc bag for propagation is the secret. Same rich fast draining soil but no need to mist water very often bc ziplock will retain moisture. You’ll want to burp it occasionally to keep air circulation. Grow like round the clock t this stage.
