    Default Bollopetalum Midnight blue

    Purchase this plant and of course am clueless on proper care. It is in course coconut husks and appears fine but I like to repot in clear plastic in order to monitor root growth. What are those with such a plant using to grow this?Name: IMG_3026.jpg Views: 392 Size: 51.3 KB

    I am growing mine in the bark mix with coconut husk chunks.

    It is doing well and hopefully will bloom on its new growth. It has a single pb before this new growth matures.

    Can you use coarse to medium bark with coconut husk?

    Yes! I use coconut chunks, not the fibers.
