The rock I collected some years ago which I used for this example might be a little small for this planting even though 2/3 of it is still beneath the soil level. I may brush a bit more of the soil this fall.
I should have taken a before picture as I really can’t remember exactly what the rock looks like. Story of my life. If it’s not directly in front of me, I can’t see the tree through the forest.
It’s been growing very well, no insect or disease. If it’s in too much sun here in SOCAL it gets burned. I’ll transplant into a better soil mixture and start to fert this spring. Any Fert recommendations? Liquid fish, M-Grow, redbull?
