Re: Question on Potted plant

Re: Question on Potted plant
Your plant looks in poor condition......
That could be a factor. |

But seriously, it needs some more dirt (you have way too little dirt in that pot), a pot with some great drainage; and if you've truly had it two years at that height it's probably also lacking some good yum yums (nutrients) so try adding some REAL good soil to that pot when you redo it. Go to a local hydroponics store and find some Fox Farm Ocean Forest, some worm castings and some extra growstones to mix into the soil. You compost? got compost based on eggshells? add that too. This could be a glorious tree, but it just needs some TLC . You got this! |
