any advice would be much appreciated.
these trees have been bare rooted and put into a mix of;
1/3 lava rock, 1/3 orchid mix, 1/3 fine shredded pine bark mulch.
around the forest floors i have collected decomposed needles bound together by mychorizo. and have broken hand fulls of it up into the mix. finished on top with old brown needles as a mulch ready for the hot summers here. i am using seaweed lotion to water through and foliar feed once a week. the dirt/clay / shaol that came off the roots i have saved and soak a little of it in a bucket of water and then water that through once a week as well. i am not letting the soil the trees are in dry out at all. what do you think? the trees are in a position where they get morning sun and mid to late afternoon sun. the temps here are still under 68 deg.f. what do you think mate?
