I would like to thank everyone for all the good info!!!
As far as water,over water isn't the problem as matter of fact it would more likely be under watering!!! The soil it was in before i repotted it did have more soil in it.I thought it was getting root rot and maybe went over board with this potting medium :hearts:.It does have enough in it that it does stay damp a couple of days and when i water it drains GREAT
maybe to great
is that possible?The mix does hold moisture,i do stick a finger in & water when beginning to dry out.
The plant being a 'rescue' has always had the same amount of roots.I thought it was strange the roots didn't grow little sucker roots,being a newbie with this plant i didn't know what the roots looked like healthy.It also done fine last summer with the minimal amount of roots?? When i received it there were no limbs & the lowest one has grown since i put it out this year???
I want to double check the surgery
Cut the cauldex (if inside isn't healthy) up the plant until healthy material is found.Meaning i'm removing all roots & making the plant shorter?? Then stick in perlite, put away for month or so (keeping an eye on it).What about water how damp perlite doesn't hold water.I have some vermiculite would that work?If not will go get perlite,I just don't use it in potting plants don't like the look of it on top the soil every time i water more floats up.
I hope everyone has a wonderful day.
