Hello all,

I'm new to the forum (and citrus) and am learning a great deal from the knowledgeable people here. I recently saw a bag of rubber-based fake pine bark at a local store. I'm planning to repot my recently purchased 1 gallon Meyer Lemon in a mix based on real pine bark I've already got but I was just curious if anyone else had seen this and used it in a mix?

Rubber will have no water holding capacity. I do not think it would be good for use in container media.
