Thank you so much. i did make the mistake of repotting into too large of a pot. your information was very helpful.
Thanks for your answer. My dwarf sweet myrtel is drying out the leavrs are dry. I water it every 5 days i have it on my window sil in an apt in nyc. It gets sun. The temp in the apt is around 60 degrees . Is there any way to save it?
Many thnx for the quick response and advice.
Swedish Ivy…hmmm. My plant has a soft purple tone with the very tip of the trumpet shaped blossom being a wee bit darker purple.
What natural dressing do you suggest?
What of egg shells on the surface of the soil?
many thnx. nansea
NanSea – Your plant may not be a Swedish Ivy. You would have to send a photo to me at wcreed@HorticulturalHelp.com for me to propelry ID your plant.
The potting mix used by the nursery is the best for your plant. Potted plants do not need top dressings and egg shells are not a good idea. They do add some calcium which may or may not be needed, but they also may provide an odor and attract insects. Just because something is “natural” doe not mean it is good for your indoor plants.
