As previously stated i recently purchased a Trachycarpus Fortunei and a Cordyline Australis and i want to put them in bigger pots. 1) Is is safe to do this at this time of year or should i wait 2) What is the best compost to use for these trees and 3) Would it be better to put them in the ground and if so when Thanks
1) Yes, safe this time of year. 2) Regular average garden mix is fine. No special requirements. 3) Both of these will grow more vigorous in the ground. Cordyline australis slows down conciderably once the large "carrot like" tap root bottoms out in a container. Cheers, LPN.
thank you very much that is a really big help as i am a beginner as just bought first house and these are first 2 plants i bought. Will look forward to putting them in the ground tomorrow. thanks once again
