Ocean Forest already comes with bat guano and worm castings in it. Some bags can be pretty potent naturally.

I would look at using Subculture b or mycorrhizae to really get those roots going. You can mix it right in with the soil when you fill the holes. Also some polymer crystals if your not able to water often.

Its active ingredient is Magnesium sulfate and its cheap,a box will last a long time since I use very little of it.Except when soaking for pain that is.
