Carambola soil mix help
« on: March 25, 2023, 03:24:28 PM »
Just recently ordered two varieties of grafted starfruit. What do you recommend for soil mix as I will be keeping them in large containers and maintaining their height?

I do not know anyone growing them in containers, but in ground they're pretty tolerant of soil. At worst they get chlorosis  which you're unlikely to get above groind.

yeah I agree they are pretty tolerant of soil, as long as they get some 5.0-5.5 pH water every once in a while they should go crazy no matter what. Very aggressive plants
