Lilly Pilly: May 2024 maintenance by michaelruschena Posted on May 9, 2024May 9, 2024 This has been growing great in the perlite mix. So much better than the sad yellow stick it used to be. In March the branches were tending to grow upwards, so I wired them for more horizontality. Which seems to have taken. I did some tidying and trimming, but inexplicably left that big branch on the left.
