[IBC] Bourganvillea Repotting
Hi everyone tomorrow i am going to be repotting my
favorite bourganvillea. Its my first time repotting it in 3 years. Last time it was repotted i did not use a particularly free draining mix since i didn't know as much. It was quite dense for a bonsai mix. However the tree has thrived in it. Anyway i was hoping some of you might have some tips for repotting bourganvillea and soil mix's you use for yours. I have many soil components on hand. Multiple sizes of Akadama Pine bark mulch Spagnum Moss Red Lava rock Gravel/silica sand Common garden soil Kanuma Oak Leaf Mold Id appreciate any suggestions you all might have. I live in zone 7 "new york city" i bring my tree in over the winter when the temps start to fall below the 50's. It is at least a 30 year old tree however it has not always been in my collection. It has many raised roots and has a hollowed trunk. Id also like to get any advice you all have on treating this weathered wood. The hollowed trunk was treated 3 years ago with lime sulfer but the effect has worn away since then. Thanks Ben Griffin __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? SBC Yahoo!
