the dolomite lime i used has the cal/mag in it is that not enough?
Sure but dry lime and other amendments take a real long time to break down; longer than most humans have tolerance for which is why it's best to provide diverse sources of nutrition in your mix. The idea is to add in lots of good stuff but in small quantities of each; that goes for everything except maybe compost which can be added up to 50% of the mix. I always add lime at recycle but also garden gypsum and oyster flour. You do not need to get all this at once either just acquire what you can as you go and after awhile your mix will reach supernatural status. The good news is your plant exhibits no absorption or ph issues; just water it as needed.
