Lepto Pageant & purple Haze

Post by Luke308 »

Similar to my swamp paperback I just posted, these were bought from bunnings but in 140mm pots. This is just to document their progression.

As mentioned I am pretty new to natives besides figs and callistemon so any tips, tricks or advice are always welcome.

These were purchased in winter 2024, and repotted in to an open mix in spring 2024. They either went in 100% pumice, or 70/30 Pumice & pine bark nuggets.

These are Lepto Pageant which went from a 140mm pot to a 200mm pot (slip potted)

Is the plan to group any of them up? Or to have them all separate?

And side q, what size nuggets do you use?

Hi, I hadn't thought of combining any. I may just consider that as I have a few of each.

The pine nuggets are Debco 3-6mm orchid pine bark nuggets

I’m interested to see what you decide in the end. And that’s for the pine nugget info :)
