Conifer?
 

Hi there,

I have just bought a Chammecypamri Laws Columnaris Glaucia (sp).

Do you think it will survive in a half basket by the door?

My garden is quite sheltered but does not get much sun.

What compost should I use?

Thanks.

Thanks I have already a climbing hydrangea in the pot as it is going to be
against a wall. Do you think it will be alright?

It should do in there; I distrust over-sized containers, but I've
tried other Lawsons in tubs two feet square, and they survived
happily. It won't get too big in a hurry if it's correctly labelled.
You'll probably need to replace it, or move it to the open ground, in
anything from about six to about ten years, I suppose: by then it may
be about six feet tall at a guess, depending on conditions.

I suggest John Innes, rather than a peat-based compost, as the peat
mixtures are very difficult to get wet again once they've dried out.
You could make a mixture of growbag material (fresh or used) and
garden soil.

Don't be afraid of putting other plants in the same container; a
prostrate juniper would look good.

Mike.

Hi Mike,

Thanks Mike. Bought John Innes as you suggested but I have left in he
climbing hydrangea. So is plenty of water needed?

I am quite new to gardening and comps so forgive me for my ignorance.
