Hi all,
For quite some time, I've been a silent reader here - now it's time for me to post my first questions.
I have had some container citrus for several years now, and I'm still trying to figure out the best substrate for them as nothing I've used so far has really satisfied me. As several posts here on CHC made me curious, I'm giving this a shot now. I find the texture and handling of the substrate very positive, and I hope that the plants are doing well in it - if only half of what I've read so far holds true for me also, I should be thrilled
The only thing that I do not like about it is the fact that chips tend to swim up when I water the pots, and not all the water drains right away.
How do the experts here handle this? Do you cover with a thin layer of stones, or do you maybe not water from the top?
Thanks in advance for some answers.
Cheers,
christian.
