Kev, I'm betting your Meyer's will be show-quality by May..(S) As long as it's getting the best care..Sun, humidity, fresh air, well-draining soil, fertilizer and proper watering. I use a product called Superthrive..it's a hormone and contains 50 vitamins..2-4 drops per gallon of water, once a month..I want to add, before sending this post, some people disbelieve it works..some call it a snake oil. LOL..I've been using ST a number of years, seen with my own eyes, the best results. You can find ST on Ebay, several online nurseries..it's also sold at hardware stores, and local nurseries..less expensive buying online. A 4oz (9.99) bottle last a couple years, depending on the number of plants you have..They suggest 10 drops per gallon of water for stressed/dying plants. Soils for citrus..Since I have about 300 plants, (not all citrus, lol) it's economical buying 50lb bags of soil. 40lb Sand. 40lb Peat. Using a drainless plastic pot, I mix, (smaller portions as example, 4 cups All Purpose black soil, 1-2 cups Peat, 1-2 cups Builder's Sand bought at Home Depot, (not beach sand) 1-2 cups Perlite...if you can find small pieces of bark, (not large used for orchids) helps with drainage.. Mix well..Add soil in the pot you intend using..place plant inside pot, standing straight..Fill in mediums, in a rotating motion, so tree stands straight. Do not exceed the graft line..(never cover graft) Then soak...water from the top or set pot in a container of tepid water, intil it soaks up until to the top of soil..Soil should be wet from bottom to top. If you have one tree, it doesn't require much work.. I take plants outside on cloudy days, or when rain is expected..(for the wk) Night or early morning is best..I've had problems placing plants outdoors when sun was blazing, and no rain in the forecast..spray foliage w/a hose...daily if possible. Water perks leaves, and knocks/kills insets if any away are present..Keeps leaves clean, washing away dust particles, and creats a green house effect. You may need to add fresh soil every year or two. And/or repot when roots are crowded..roots will grow from drainage holes, looking for freedom. The plant is saying, I need a larger home. Living in Il, I've been successful repotting into containers 1-2 sizes larger..IMO, it depends on the climate..if one lives in a hot, humid, long summer state, they have a better chance overpotting..Otherwise, too much soil chances are the soil will remain wet, and eventually kill the plant.. Good luck, Kev..don't obsess over your plant/s..by overdoing, chances are you'll overwater, Number 1 killer..Toni

Success!!! I went Jungle Jack plumeria hunting at Home Depots and was able to find some in Duarte, CA. They are in 2 gallon containers and cost $25.90. The plants look healthy and have at least 3 branches. The tags are Jungle Jack but the ones I found had generic descriptions. I did find markings on the branches. Does anyone know what the specific varieties are based on the codes? Premium Rainbow - HD Premium Yellow - Y (I'm hoping it's Inca Gold!) Premium Pink - SPJH J09 (I think it spells SPJH... it could be SPJM) Or if anyone knows of any other codes it would be nice to keep a list just in case we run into more JJs during our hunt! Does anyone know if Jungle Jack is going to have an open house this year? Thanks!

You are not in the best forum for this question. This is for group seed and plant exchanges. I found the link at the main forum page, and it looks like an active group! Good luck! Here is a link that might be useful: Gardenweb Orchid forum

@emmarene "exactly where I am going to plant it".....wait, please, I can't stop laughing...... Cistus are just the absolute best...love cistus. Just thinking that I'm going to WM and pick up some potting soil, will check on whether or not they have steer manure....in hopes. I use a lot of nassella tenuissima / Mexican Feather Grass and yes, I do get a lot of seedlings to use elsewhere. I do think I've reached the point of being able to just weed them now, have potted maybe 100 in the last several weeks. I think of them the same as anything else that reseeds a lot, I would rather weed the seedlings than do without the plant. Since I'd last read that HD and Armstrong nurseries had "vowed" not to sell the plant due to its invasiveness, I noticed last week that WM must see potential there as they are now selling it....LOL...
