| Regarding the repotting, I put some medium into the new pot, then hold the plant in the pot at the desired height, above the mix. Then with the other hand I sprinkle mix in around the roots. When my hand is empty I tap the plant and pot gently on the table, still holding the plant up in position. this lets the mix settle around the roots. Repeat 'till full. I don't pack or tamp on the mix as I thought (still think) that would impact root integrity.
Any improvments to this procedure?
Thanks for the root info on your mature plants Sandra. I'll document my "experiment" for a future post.
thnx, Jeff |
