Was that initial soil some kind of akadama? I heard that cheaper, low quality, bonsai soil will disintegrate and create a muddy substrate. No wonder that mud stayed wet for so long. Good thing you decided to repot. New soil looks much better.
@BlueJayBonsai Жыл бұрын
🌟That’s my guess as well.. it kinda looked like darker, maybe old akadama.. 🐦💙

Thankfully you got it into good soil, that previous substrate looked a bit like a death sentence for a portulacaria afra. I'm sure it'll grow really well in the new pot! Also, I use the same blue pellets, they've worked really well for me for the last few years, really convenient.

ok ill write it again in short: 1.portulacaria afra dont like fertilizer right away after reppoting. 2.theres no hail marry cut thing on portulacaria becouse it should always divide really good no matter where u cut but make sure u cut only in summertime and spring otherwize it just weakens the plant.

🌟Thanks Oftek. I don’t fertilize after a repot if I work the roots… roots were not touched by me or on the previous slip pot. You are right, Hail Mary was not the right term. Just a little nervous on a new tree that I paid money for. 😃
