Pics came out a bit dark. sorry about that. It's only size of root ball and plant you really need to see.
I was given this great big deiffenbachia today. It's about 4 ft. You can see the roots in the top picture. They are longer than the pot you see. Is this pot too small. A bigger size will be a fair bit larger, as in a 1 gallon nursery pot. Is it a good Idea to plant these particular plants deeper up the trunk, or am I confusing this with something else.
The reading I have done only mentions regular potting soil. I am thinking I should at least put in some perlite for drainage. I have cactus soil, potting soil, perlite, grit and small bark; so I can give it just about anything. It's an absolutely picture of perfection. Clean beautiful roots, gorgeous perfect leaves. It was growing in very bright eastern light. I won't have an east window as bright, but am hoping a home close to a west window will please it.
I would appreciate whatever you can share from your experiences, I need to get it in some soil pretty quick.
Thanks all.
