Hello,
I have finally ventured into deciduous trees after many years of successfully taking care of conifers (mainly California junipers). I am not quite sure what soil I need for the following trees:
Bald Cypress
Ginkgo Biloba (Friend gave it to me, currently in a large pot of just normal potting soil mix, not sure to leave it or wait for winter to repot)
Kotohime Maple
Chinese Elm
I have some good conifer substrate mix that i've been using for years, but not sure if I need to add more organic bark for these deciduous trees. I also read that Kotohime maples like slighly more acidic mix and azela mix is recommended along with watering a small diluted white vinegar into 5 gallons of water. All the trees are small saplings and I would like to train them to grow big, so I am also not sure if I can grow them in a large pot and add some cheaper material like perlite.
Thank you for the help.
