Re: [NathanM] Jaboticaba
This one isn't quite so healthy at the moment. Hasn't recovered well since the repot. Maybe cut too much root mass off?? It is still alive though. WIll get a pic in it's sad state though if necessary

Re: [NathanM] Jaboticaba
Hi Nathan
I have 2 of these plants, one planted in a diatomite/zealoite and the other in a bonsai mix. Also repotted in either August or Setember. At the moment the bonsai mix plant has taken off but the diatomite/zealite plant is slow. I have completed this same comparison with 2 bottle brushs with the same result. The plant in the diatomite/zealite mix is now growing better than the bonsai mix.
