You can repot now, doesn’t matter that it’s a bit wet as you will be removing the soil any way. I have removed upto 50% of the roots during a repot. As you haven’t had one before and your new, just take a third off and you should be good.

Good weekend job then by the look of it.

As you speak from experience Kirky, do you think the sound of my mix will be suitable?

I haven't contacted him as the conditions and micro climate he provides for his trees is vastly different to what I can provide so I just have to learn to adapt my trees better I guess. Would hate to undermine his extensive knowledge and experience. I know soil mixes can be quite the contentious discussion too Image

Will update when done.

Thanks again everyone Image
