The Chinese Elm cutting has never been happy. After reading this post questioning scoria-heavy potting mixes (actually, outright rejecting them), I happened to pay attention to just how unhappy. I don’t have akadama, but I do have perlite and some clay balls. So I decided to do an emergency repotting.
I mixed up some replacement soil:
- perlite
- clay balls
- charcoal
- pumice
Clearing out the tree:
This one spent years in a very small pot, so the roots are heavily curled. I wanted to get them a bit more radial, So I wired them out a bit.
Back on the bench.
