Hi Woodthrush, I have: Heuchera villosa 'Mocha' Heuchera villosa 'Bronze Wave' I'm interested in your 'Tiramis' and 'Encore'. Let me know if you are interested in. Thanks! - Seiko

Malcolm: thanks for the info. on pH meter. I checked on that before, and found that most of them are not accurate, and even the more expensive one above $200 need to be re-calibrated before each use. Red cabbage boiled in distilled water is quite accurate, since I am testing one agent against each other: color of Miracle-Gro potting soil is very pink, against the color of Scott's premium top soil with peat moss (greenish blue). I checked the colors of all 10 samples after 1 hour: peat moss gets even pinker, Scott's premium soil gets greener. Reg_pnw7: thank you for your feed back, my goal is to learn, and I don't need to be right, since I'm a newbie. Corn meal tested neutral, and the color of red cabbage boiled in my alkaline tap water is bluish purple, compared to the color of red cabbage boiled in distilled water, pinkish purple. If you google "optimal pH for fungi growth", there are several that cited preferably acidic for fungi growth. The red cabbage boiled in distilled water is an interesting experiment to test various materials. Try it and you'll see how accurate it is by testing with at least 10 mediums: few drops of vinegar, coffee ground, peat moss, baking soda, MiracleGro potting soil versus Scott's bagged top soil. The peat moss and MiracleGro potting soil get more pink after several hours, and the Scott's get more green. I used quite accurate fish tank litmus paper (Jungle brand from Walmart). It correctly gave a 7 for distilled water, and a 8 for my tap water. The direction said to read within the first minute - it took more than 10 minutes to get the epsom salt to dissolve, and this gave a more alkaline false reading at pH 7.3 to 7.5. However, when epsom salt is tetsted with red cabbage, this gave a correct neutral pH: the color did not changed compared with the control red cabbage boiled in distilled water. Blackspots can germinate on the ground and get splashed up by rain water. This year I have zero blackspots on 10 Austin roses mulched with very alkaline horse manure, as recommended by the British.

I don't claim to be any expert on tropical plants and I certainly don't know anything about miracle berries. Most of this info comes from tropicalfruithunter.com. First give it a spray of distiller or rain water. Then, I would wrap the tree with all of its leaves up in a clear plastic bag. Put the plant in a very shaded location. I would not have repotted until the plant started to show new growth but now that you have I would not disturb the roots again until established. Hopefully what you used is fast draining. Keep the roots moist but not wet. I had water droplets on the inside of the bag at all times so spray as needed. You will have to open the bag to allow fresh air in every 1-2 days. Once the plant reverses and improves you can open the bag at the bottom and then slowly start acclaimating to the environment. You can't go too slow. It took me a month and a half to initially repot my lychee which was health when I got it. Good luck.

Hello Kuisti! This is a fascinating sight! There will be so many flowers! Thank you for sharing! Elena.
