Thought it would be good to get a thread on Cyrtosperma merkusii going. This is my larger plant. It's growing better this year than last. The problem last year seemed to be that it was in too deep water. We had an above normal wet season and where it was planted the water used to sit too high. During the dry season I raised it up by putting more soil under it.
This year we've had the opposite for the wet season. Well below normal rainfall. So the C. merkusii has spent very little time in deeper water. My second plant is going into a large pot with no drain holes. This pot is being set into the ground At the moment I''ve filled it with soil, old charcoal and compost. Waiting for 3 weeks before planting in it.Will be good ro see how well it does compared to the other. The other is larger to start with though.
