very slow northiana

[Robert]

Hi lirazr, your north look fine to me. It required extremely well drain media. I use pure clay pellets of different dimension collected from the hills and water only once in 3-4 days. Clay retained moisture and lots of air space between their roots was perfect, as in the folowing pot.



I also use approx 80% perlite and approx 20% peat or chopped up sphagnum, and it also work very well.



Both pots are grown in the open garden with 60% nursery shade exposed to natural wind and rain.
