I repotted my Moro today. All that talk about wrong soil mix made me feel a bit uneasy and thought better check it out. It was nothing to worry about but I decided to add a plant insert to the pot so to lighten the pot and at the same time minimize the risk for root rot a bit more.
This is to shows that the roots really did not get deep in the pot
but lots of healthy roots with white tips
more healthy roots
planter insert
It is about 4" to 6" from the bottom of the pot
just need to fill in the edges and we have a happy tree for the next two years to come :)
I will stick with the mix I used which is peat, perlite and vermiculite (already mixed from the garden center) and pine bark mulch for acidity. Yup according to some the death sentence for the trees. But I think my tree did really good on this mix being in there since two years and I'm sure I could have gotten another year out of it.
