Hi, I am posting this for a friend who is a bit old school and doesn't get around the internet much.
He was asking me about growing E. Nova, I guess he started several from seed and they all perished, he thought it was due to high pH so he tried again and the same thing happened.
I tried reading up on growing parameters, but not seeing anything glaring that may have been wrong, so I figured I'd ask for some advice here and see if I could get any tips I can pass along.

Maybe too much watering? They don't like wet feet. Perhaps sun exposure too? Idk just guessing some of the usual culprits.

Most Coca plants die because they were watered with tap water. This genus does not like calcium at all, so rainwater should be used primarily.
Also they do not like it if the substrate is too dense and sticky. The soil should be coarse/ loose and with a lot of humus.
