Quite a disappointing recovery so far but fingers are still crossed for success. One stem has rotted without shooting. The other stem threw a couple of leaves then stopped and also rotted (the big leaf), but the other end of the stem has now shot again so fingers crossed. The media is plain peat moss and sand watered by rainwater (pH 5.5 to 6.0) to provide acidic conditions. I put some alder cones in the water to push the pH down a bit lower but they don't seem to have much effect. I've tried oak leaves and beech leaves so far but still only getting pH down to 5.5 to 6 and I think I need to push it a bit lower (more acidic).
