>>959504Can't post pictures because I live in a shitty country where a camera is too expensive and we don't have iphones.
Did the decantation test from your link and apparently my soil is 90% sand and 10% silt with no top layer (that would be clay). Would post pictures if possible but after 20 hours of decantation what I see is:
>at bottom a very large layer of red,brown and black particles thats supposed to be sand>on top of it, a much thinner dark brown colored layer with much, much smaller particles that supposed to silt>no third layer>water on top of it, still has a redish colorBetter buy some clay to mix in this soil.
>>959503Bottom has holes and a layer of small bricks and stones to help drainage. Idaho Master Garden says to not do this because you just lose pot volume so I'm planning to remove this bottom layer of stones and mix it in the soil. Will it help keeping soil wet?
I have oranges in 15 L pot because Idaho Master Garden says to avoid transplanting so put the plant in the final pot as soon as possible. I believe that 15 L is enough to get a plant with real branches, a small tree in the future. I pretend to never move the plants to a bigger pot.
I water generally two times a day. I check the surface before any watering. If the surface is moisty I don't water and wait until it gets a little dry. Should I water two times a day no matter what?
I removed two palms from pot, both with a lot of brown leaves and a few dead leaves. One had no root development it was exactly like when I transplanted a year ago. The other one had a much bigger root and visible developement. The root was full of tiny white points, like small ant eggs. Is this some kind of disease? Maybe that's why the plant was dying. I don't believe that this plant could be saved. Too much brown leaves and one entire branch R.I.P. Also another strange thing about this two palms -- no shoot at the middle top of palm (to lead the growth).
