Pinus mugo from Portugal

[jaco94]

My pinus mugo finally arrived today left for 4 days from Portugal.

I hope it will not have suffered too much from this transport in the heat , fortunately , the seller did things well and the substrate was still wet when arriving .
Now , i regularly spray it's foliage.

Love the way he seems to be looking for a little accent plant , i have to find him one quickly !

Hi all !

After asking the seller for his opinion, i just repotted this pine , i took the opportunity to try to make more visible the large anchor roots to the right of the nebari which were a little under the substrate, and also removed the moss growing around the trunk .



Here it is with some company

I'd be too nervous to Repot a looking yellow mugo, at least not til after the Solstice.

No concern?

Yes , you are maybe right and it could be a mistake , but the thing that i have always read about conifers is the draining substrate .
I like to know exactly what the tree is in .

The seller told me exactly this :



I only hope i haven't be too much evasive , cause i didn't understand what it means ...

I am French and the seller is Portuguese , and we communicated in english :
can be risky ...

The word the seller meant is invasive.

Thanks very much Just wing it ,
for me " don't be much evasive in repotting " means don't remove too much roots .

Invasive is the German occupation of France.

Evasive is running from them.

Invasive isn't a good word for repotting really.

Well, is one invading the root system or evading it?....when repotting.
