Soil for Giant Sequoia?
Hi everyone, I’m new to growing trees, and I just got a tiny little giant sequoia while I was visiting the national park (I named him Herman). I’m planning on keeping him in a pot until I have a place with a yard, which may be a few years down the line. the only plants I have experience with are carnivorous plants, which is why I’m keeping it indoors, because I have grow lights that are the equivalent of full sun. For the life of me I cannot find a consistent answer on what soil to use. I have some terrestrial orchid soil that I use for my jewel orchids (my only non carnivorous plants), so I’m wondering if I can use that with a little peat moss thrown in there since it’ll retain more moisture but also will be better draining than just straight peat and perlite. Should I go out and buy a different mix all together? If so, what kind and whats brands do people recommend? I want to help Herman grow up big and strong, even if that means carrying around a massive pot from dorm to dorm for a few years.
