I bought a small-size plant, and immediately repotted it into a pot probably of similar size to yours. Any idea how long it took your bay to outgrow that container?Chartreusehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05919069110736697400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7797396120087729156.post-6068617704370511132011-04-13T09:59:44.733+10:002011-04-13T09:59:44.733+10:00Alexa

The other thing they love is limey soils, so I've potted up mine with some dolomite tossed into the mix.

I'm looking forward to hearing how it goes, I've always wondered how a fig would go in a pot.Alexahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01404042957971464375noreply@blogger.com
