I like this one. Simple, great bark. Nice.

I know these like more water. Do you use organics in your soil composition? I'd be interested to hear what it's on. Lovely composition.

I don't use organics at all. I use vermiculite for water retention, and I water a lot haha.

So standard APL with some vermiculite? Or lava and pumice with Vermiculite?

Currently my soil is akadama, granite, Lava, vermiculite and DE.
Corona gave me supply issues so I had to get creative.

That's understandable. I don't get involved in soil wars, but I do understand locations, environments, and availability play a role in component selection. Thank you for sharing!

My trees are happy and I have 60 of them if that's any consolation

Sweet base and bark. Looking good! Love buttonwood.
Amazing tree… the rotation has thrown me, though. Is this picture from November the new front? I rather liked the movement that was much more apparent in the photo from this summer. Either way… just a tiny bit of jealously here! Good work!

Yeah I was looking at it and thinking the same, luckily it's in a round pot
