26th January

Department: Alpine

Repotted alpine Campanula. Soil mix contained - J. Innes no. 2 + osmocote (2g per litre) - Prop. at this time of year only use 1g per litre, so this is probably still a bit too much. They like a limey mix (see Alpine Soil Mix handout for more info). When we cleaned the leaves taking off the dead we pulled downwards - the natural way it wanted to go as to not damage the plant.
