Thank you for calming my worries Carl. I have done this a few times now,
but it doesn't seem to be any less scary, repotting a tree that is.

Serissa is a temperamental plant, but it IS tough. It'll do fine
in whatever it's planted in for a year or so. By then, you will
(I hope) be doing as the rest of us do and mixing your own soil
rather than paying good money to someone else for -- dirt.

I would love to mix my own soil, but I think that my wife would have my
head
for that. She isn't very happy with dirt all over the carpet Plus I
live in an apartment in the heart of Philly where it's hard to find good
soil without a car. I am due for a trip to the Rosade Nursery however,
perhaps I can pick up a few bags of each component, earning a few days on
the couch in the process.

Thanx again,

Dmitry


If you time your visit to Rosade's for May 3 or 4, you can participate in
their spring (free) open house. It's usually a lot of fun with demos etc.
Details will be up on their web site soon.

They sell several kinds of good pre-mixed soil, so you don't have to mess up
your living room.
