Others are in filtered light (high limbed trees are excellent). Feed every week with half strength water soluble fertilizer (I don't follow this advice since I feed every month or two weeks). The soil should be fairly fast draining. I amend my pots now with about a 70/30 to 50/50 mix of good potting soil (I have been using Miracle Gro the last few years since I can get the extra large bags at Sams) and Perlite. During summer, I water 3 times a week due to our water restrictions. This is the majority of my canes from last summer. |
