Are you sure it is safe to tranplant those kinds of plants during summer?

Thx Prmills, Taylor, yes...of course they are unhappy initially, but growth resumed in less then two weeks. Dessication is a main concern of course. However, in the controlled enviroment of my plant rack it is concern easily addressed.  Av |

Okay, that's good. Just trying to make sure...of course plants can recover quickly in a controlled environment

wow, those are incredibly established plants! You're slowly (but surely) convincing me to use Trichoderma  |

I can't remeber seeing such good photos of the Cephalotus root system-thanks for those. I use Trichoderma also, but as a soil drench for the plants.

Thanks Mab, Pete,
I do a monthly drench as well, plus a granular for transplanting and problem areas.
During transplanting I also do a good soak, which has other inherent benefits as well.
Which strain of trich do you use?... After lots of trial and error, I personally prefer Ampac Biotech's T. atroviride for Cp use.
I started with rootsheild's H22 but the shelf life and spore count is terrible... and it just didnt seem to work as well as T. atroviride in our application

I use the Trichoderma powder by Canna, I don't know if there are any other forms available in this country. Canna also do a good substrate component "Canna Coco Professional" this is ground and washed coconut husk and then they impregnate it with Trichoderma apparantly. I use this as part of my Ceph mix.
