This is Karin of Karin's Endless Blooms in Enderby. She is holding a gardenia that she had in inventory for Mother's Day, and which was dropping leaves like crazy and had absolutely no blooms. She was about to throw it out when she decided to re-pot it using some Expanded Shale that Dave from Light Green Rocks had left her for her hanging baskets.
Karin reports that, within 10 days of it being re-potted ,it has fully recovered from browning and dropping leaves and now has 10 new buds/blooms. She credits the E-Soil (Expanded Shale) with its dramatic turnaround, due to the E-Soils ability to retain water and nutrient for the root system.
