Watering please advise
I did all my trees in a bath solution (fert) and noticed some of my tree when put in the water made lots of bubbles. They all look health enough but I didn't think this was normal, I left them soak for at least 1/2hour. I give them water each morn & again afternoon if needed, am I not giving them enough water even though I thought I was??
Getting new shoots on most of them I welcome any advice. sheba53

Re: Watering please advise
Sheba that is normal it is just that when you dunk as you have done it is a far better way of watering. When you have a small collection once a week or month doing this ensures your trees are watered properly.
When you have a larger collection and larger tree's it is not practical.
If you can it is also a good way to fertilise as again you know they are getting it where they need it.

Re: Watering please advise
Thanks Pup, I feel much better now. My plants are only small so the bath sounds good to me as well as water during the day when it gets warm. In Bundaberg it is very hot as of late. cheers sheba
