Since my soil ph is in the acidic range and I'm seeing MG deficiency I'm wondering if I should repot into a new soil.
My current soil is peat, pine bark, vermiculite, perlite.
Does pine bark make raising ph really difficult?
I have dolomite and am using it but man, I sure wish it would raise the ph faster. I don't mean to be impatient but after giving the soil dolomite a couple times I would have thought it gets better, even by a little. Everything that goes in now is at 7.0, even the dolomite mix. It's just not reacting very fast.
So when you have a plant with around 10-12 branches(12-18" tall), is it hard to remove from one soil and transplant to another? I think it could be real easy to damage roots. Any suggestions on that? I looked in FAQ and did not see anything on this type of transplant.
