Very cool idea with the pumice bed I’ll have to do something similar. At least with your trees on the 3rd floor the odds of someone stealing them is hopefully reduced.
Nice trees. Hemlock is what I want next!A mountain hemlock update
With the help of some experiences club members, I reworked some of the wiring on my funky mountain hemlock. The lower two apices now look presentable, but the top one still has some growing to do. Plan to repot it next spring.

Because I enjoyed working that one so much, and it was from Anton’s last haul, I picked up another one. This tree will get the opposite plan, getting a repot this spring and will wait to be styled until at least the fall.View attachment 526786
After looking at this tree and its picture, I don’t think that this angle is really the right one. Oh well, we’ll be able to figure that out once we get it out of this pot.
I appreciate the tip! Always looking to learn from the hard fought lessons of others. This is a big part of my plans for this spring (see attached database). 20 trees on the docket this year!
I also remembered that I have at least two sessions repotting with pros. Trying to get more reps repotting with others, and planning to be some free “help” in exchange for getting to look under the hoods.
Thank you! I joked to a friend that if I put half as much work into organizing and planning my actual job, I’d be far more successful. All of these database pages also include work logs of trees. The idea is to eventually share them broadly as a sort of “behind the scenes” blog, and also to be able to provide them to buyers as adoption papers. I need to clean some things up before sharing them, but I would like to eventually have a link in my signature. The ultimate response to the “show me your trees” challengeWow! Now that is some great organization. Would come in handy when I am trying to remember how long a tree has been since a repot

Planning to do pumice and akadama, probably something like 60/40 as that’s whats recommended by the grower I bought them from.What type of soil mix are you using for the Hemlocks?
