Default Re: Mekong Giant vs Basjoo

A few Mekong Giants were planted inground a month ago is a well prepared
tilled 5x5x1bed.
Plants were container grown to increase size over the past year...they did not respond well to the lower light and 65 degree indoor living.

Roots and runners were teased from the root ball and 19-19-19 fertilizer was used in the initial planting.
The small plants have settled in and are sorting themselves out with new leaves and runners vertically emerging.

Basjoos on the other hand are thick 4+ft plants feeding on 19-19-19 and leaf litter.

Triple 19 is what I chose to use on these ornamental plantings.
You can use triple 12, 13 on up if you wish ....do what your budget allows.
The results are similar .
