These are proper males. Or I sure hope so at least as I'm harvesting the pollen in my bathroom.

Put a tiny tea plant seedling in some succulent Seramis. On further investigation seems to have been a bad idea as it might too alkaline (it's close to neutral). Maybe I should have done the investigation beforehand. Oh well, let's see what happens.

Should separate the rest too once I figure out a good medium. Interesting that they plant so many in a small pot at the nursery. Well looks good and bushy quick I suppose.

Also want to try to plant one or two outside. Read that if blueberries do well tea plants should too. I have a couple blueberry plants, wouldn't say they're doing super well, but they have been alive for some years, so that's promising.

The nursery mix looks like coco and composted bark to me, but dunno.

are they using vermiculite at the nursery?

 

[shiva82]

i will be doing most my high density cloning , or plug plants in vermiculite mixes . versatile.

No vermiculite, perlite, pumice or anything of the sort that I can see.

Nah not regular peat anyway maybe some kind of long fiber spaghnum moss

the best part about tyson furys' post fight speech was when he suddenly shouted " happy new year " . i found that funny for some reason.

the punches took their toll . punched him into a time warp

i did something similar with my passion flower clone . i thought it would do best in a nice rich manure based soil mix .... it stagnated and nearly died. i dug it up and moved it to a drainpipe full of light mix type soil , with stones perlite , low quality soil but high aeration , and the plant has come back to life nicely .

sometimes reading what the ideals are first to begin with saves it becoming an issue , but it is all learning and experience .

I'll go buy some orchid Seramis tomorrow and replant in that.

I was under the impression that succulents like an acidic medium and that's why I used it (also because I already had it), and they do, but they have a wider range they are happy with, 5.5-7, and for some reason the succulent Seramis is on the upper end of that scale apparently.

Or maybe just regular orchid mix, they seem to be some kind of similar composted pine bark mixes the plants are already in.

you could just use coco and set your own ph regimens for each plant
