In my opinion, UPM is the best stuff around for transfering cuttings. Some may disagree. It's light, fluffy, has all the right bacteria....it's good stuff! It gives cuttings monster roots! I can't get it in my area so I ordered it 3yrs ago. Today, it just cost too much to ship it. I've used both UPM and FAFARD. FAFARD is good too however, I prefer UPM. If you use FAFARD, get the 3B, not 4Mix. The 4MIX is cheaper, but also heavier due to excess vermuculite.
