I repotted 3 plants today. They were ones I had bought at the Botanic Garden greenhouse awhile back. They were in what looked to be (oh horror of horrors!) DIRT. So I spoke to the Director this morning to find out what was up with that. He said it came to them that way and it was Promix. DUH! Well, shouldn't you get it out of that before you sell it to some unsuspecting novice? Just seems irresponsible to me. The plants look healthy enough, but I will keep an eye on them.

I could have sworn I heard them sigh "Ahhhhh, we're home now!" after getting into the bark mix. LOL.
