The stuff is great. I have about 15 diff tropical growing in it now that are doing fantastic, better then fantastic. This stuff is like gold.

I also grow a lot of dwarf and mini conifersWhich i get as one and two year old grafts.When i get them i remve them from thier pots was of all the old potting material and repot for planting in the fall.This year i used the 5-1-1 to repot and all are doing fine. sometimes when you buy a plant from a grower they use mostle peat and if you let the peat dryout you will have a heck of a time getting it to wet again,hence the washing off of the potting mix to expose the roots to new moist media,Whe i plant my Rhodos I add 60 to 70 percent pine bark fines to the soil plus perlite and gypsum and the plants root fine.
