Saved it by picking funny "lichen-like" things off the bark, & potting it in a peat + coco fiber mix + ?*, as recommended by a grower. Can't find source, but I know that coco fiber is becoming the new "peat moss". (* Sorry to be vague, but I do think it's worth researching. My tree that was surely "dead", is thriving & blooming.)Hope it is relevant to your problem & helps in some way. ~(:-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7797396120087729156.post-58375586230965142822011-07-08T10:12:36.885+10:002011-07-08T10:12:36.885+10:00From the photo it looks like you are on to somethi...From the photo it looks like you are on to something here.

Even the one about busy lizzies was inspiring (where you replaced it with bromilaid). I now know what to plant in my wall pot. <br /><br />I hope this comment reaches you, all my other ones were blocked because I am asked to create a blog site!!!!Shivangnihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05724368971699470594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7797396120087729156.post-42195549876623838722011-07-06T03:37:32.178+10:002011-07-06T03:37:32.178+10:00You sure are crazy... crazy like a fox!
