The Pennington ingredients are almost identical to the mix that Top Tropicals uses for their trees. That was the reason I selected it over any other brand. It is also sand free, which is a plus.
I am taking it and amending it. I mixed the Pennington 60; 20 Pine bark soil conditioner, 10 perlite, 10 peat. Also adding worm castings and epsom salt.
Close up of the soiless mix.
They are all in their growout pots now.
Carambola Kari - Dropping some leaves from shipment, but holding its flowers close.
NDM Mango, also with some fruit. Seems unaffected by shipping.
Avocado Mex with fruit. Looks stressed slightly.
Indian Almond dropped all but upper leaves.
Except for the mango, they were all in a mixture that appeared identical to what I created.
Question is, since the Mango came in a gritty mix, is it OK to plant it as is into the mix I made? Or must I bare root it?
