Seedling
Hi, newbie here. Mostly have prebonsai of Pemphis Acidula, Causarina E, a few ficus var, Calliandras and a few JBPs
I have lately received 3 Asahiyama Sakuras, a Deshojo, Satsuki Azaleas and a Trident. When I saw buds swelling I repotted and lightly removed 70% of the nursery soil and placed them in a slightly deeper pot and wired them in. The soil mix is a 70% Akadama/Kanuma/Kiryuzuna (a succulent mix here) and 30% local country's generic River Sand + Pumice + trace Charcoal bits
They have woken up and bloomed last week since they came in their dormant form. Placed a bit of slow release fert with trace elements. They're growing under a Mango tree I trim to shade them only fm noon sun
However I have lurked a bit and found these trees might suffer from the lack of winter chill months.
Saw a hot topic on Fridges (seriously thinking getting a Cabinet type glass frontage Chiller for drinks and place it outside morning sun only.. Anyone from the tropics successfully helped these temperate trees thrive? May I see your notes on your actual experiences etc. Thanks!
