thanks. you must have your plants trained to grow in rock. they should have had no trouble growing in the potting soil. to me it looked like that one was still alive. so............. so, i did a what if. now you have me curious.

rock salt. nooo when the manini died it was obvious that it was over watered. the aquarium rock that i bought was smooth and polished and after studying your rock i saw that your rock was broken and not uniformed. my wife had some cute pink aquarium rock that resembled your aggregate almost perfectly. and she has a lot of it.


i have gone a step further.......

in one post you said that your property was about as fertile as the center of I95. [would that be the asphalt or the median? ] kinda wondering if your bananas might be getting a little something from your rock. anyways so with that i bought 10 pounds of crushed sandstone. quite pricy, 25 bucks. not quite enough to fill a 2 1/2 gallon pot. i have a hole ready for the florida, i will plant her in a couple of weeks after the cow manure and compost have a bit of time to calm down. i will be using the pots with the rock for long term planting from now to see what i can learn from it.

side note; you can see some of the brown polished aquarium rock in the pics with the pink rock.
