Uh.... the council's free compost. I thought all compost was pretty much the same, and only a few plants needed some additives. Can anybody identify the plant and ascertain if it needs something special? I guess I could then get some litmus paper and correct the acidity if necessary. looks like a Calathea to me. Doesn't need anything special, just decent compost. The Council's free compost is something I avoid, as it is not possible to say what is in it. If someone dumps a load of soil treated with a persistent weedkiller in their wheelie bin or at their local tip, that could well find its way into /your/ flowerpot. The chances are very low, but even a minimal risk is a risk if you have a very special plant. -- Jeff |
