Can the myrtle handle alkaline soil?

I live in a community that is mostly clay and they seem to do well. from what I see the most important thing for crape myrtle is sun, the more sun the better. I have azaleas in with a crape myrtle bush and I feed them muracid and they all do well

Sorry. I bought this as a gift for my sister-in-law in another part of the country. I don't know the pH of her soil, but the plant is thriving.

I purchased a crepe myrtle and it seems to great in my alkaline soil. I'm assuming it should thrive in most soils and is tolerant in harsh conditions as long as its watered a lot when its a small plant.

As long as the roots are always in water, it will be fine. Change the water weekly and keep out of direct sunlight.

Although, we did not "stack" the garden frames; I believe it could be done. Great product to contain soil or other elements. Sid

Yes but rooting cuttings from this plant as it gets. Just keep soil moist to muddy and give the cutting 60 to 70 % shade. Will take awhile before it roots good though.

There is no reason it would not. I also used it for rough soil pH estimate.

I live in Florida, but in real warm humid weather, the AC is always on. I use the fine ground Celtic Sea Salt in my salt shaker, but I need to "bang" it on my hand to get it moving! I don't fill it completely full since it is not a sealed shaker. The nutrients would probably be more effective if it were sealed. I don't have a problem with the top getting clogged up.

I would not recommended for because of the chemicals used in the product. These chemicals might be absorb by the soil and thus the roots. Paris Lamps Team

Yes you could add calcium to the water to raise the alkalinity of it. Baking soda does this as well.

No just losen the soil so the roots can get it. Make sure the it is not packed tight.

sandy soil is preferred......one inch rain a week is needed(water) but do not over water or trunk will rot..plant near windows as they have strong fragrance and u will enjoy on breezy days....for cloning use rockwool plugs(google or Amazon "rockwool")....lol.............."The Toad".............Out....

I used it in garden soil mix and it worked great - I had nothing to compare it to so as far as the grade, I'm not a confidant judge - I want to say coarse

Have used it on dogwood trees. Do not have crepe myrtles but should be fine. Great product. Just follow recommended application.

I planted 5 seeds and so far one has poked up through the soil. I live in So Calif and have kept them wet. The best way to grow these plants is to buy comfrey roots, but nobody wants to ship comfrey roots to Ca. :(

Yes, please put it in a bigger pot right away, not because it needs it but because adding fresh soil is always better to the plant. Also this needs a bit of acid soil as well and what I did is to combine half regular potted soil and half coffee grounds. I hope this info will be helpful to you.

yes. you should mix the crystals in the soil, not just pour it on top. also be aware it expands a lot when watered. try taking half a teaspoon and put in a bowl and add water and see how much volume it adds, and take that into account when adding dry crystals to the soil...

Yes, amend your soil of any rocks or dried grasses, at this time when ground is level and ready for planting,spread in your fertilizer, I used this product as some of the reviews gave a good result. But, I found that they soil here has a soft clay so this year I stared to use a Compost Fertilizer, Buffaloloam made from buffalo pooh, It's very rick, no smells and dark dark coloring. and everything in this garden looks like a golf course, The green light a fast result, within days,but, seemed to only have a speedy set to a light coloring. With the Buffalo loam compost, it's great for every living thing, except humans..Please feel free to ask any questions .if I have not answered your question. English is my second language and the English has been a challenge all the years. Brenda
