Hi Scoby_Beasley,
I'll take that into consideration ta, as I can always move it outside if it gets too lively, as I said earlier, I do like the greenforest thing but gotta draw the line if i cant move in there!
Thanks for the ideas peeps. Off to the garden centre tomorrow, see if they have any.
Likewise, i want to repot my canary phoeinx as i havent since i bought them two years ago as i never knew what soil they used, the one they were in was a strange type, probbie original and i didnt wanna kill them. I been looking on the web today and not really found anything to help. Maybe I should repost?

If your talkin canary island date palms, any reputable potting compost will do but I'd go for one that says 'John Innes No. 3' . Its got the gravel in you need to aid drainage.
