Here are the juniper cuttings I mentioned repotting in the other thread. First five were done last night and they were potted in two parts pumice, one part turface, one part pine bark. The second set are in the new pots in front. Their mixture is two parts pumice, one part turface, one part akadama. All of the plants had mycohrizae spores dusted on the roots, then the top soil was dusted, then they were watered.

I would have used more akadama, but felt like it would be a better comparison with equal ratios. I plan on treating then the same as far as fertilizing and watering goes. I would like to see if there is a difference in vigor and growth between the two mediums. In a couple years I plan on up-potting them, probably into pond baskets.
