[ Natural] Kunzea ambigua - Squizzy

Post by squizzy »

Hi all

This is tube stock I’ve owned for at least 12 months. It was purchased from harvest seeds and native plants at Terry hills for probably $2.50 I think.

It and a handful of others have been sitting at the back of my benches with an intent to pot it up. This contest gave me the kick in the butt needed to do so. It was quite stunted and nutrient deficient when I got it with the top half snapped off.

It has been potted in akadama for about 4 weeks and has been recovering in filtered light. I have now moved it to a sunny spot.

This one has just been grown on in winter. I think it is adjusting ok in akadama.

Here is an update of my kunzea. Things have been ultra busy for me so not a lot of work has been done to this. I cut the sacrifice branch off in autumn and anticipate it will begin to move again shortly with the warmer weather.
