I just saved a few plants from walmarts clearance sales.
I now have 2 palms/spath ( thats all thats on the label)
and a Red Sister Cordyline.

the roots on these plants were already coming out of the drain holes
on the pots so they needed to be repotted.


I repotted them removing much of the soil that they came in and
placed into 3 gal pails. The bottom 3 to 4 inches is large perlite
and the rest is coco coir.

All 3 pails are hooked together with 1/2 poly line for draining to
a single pail with a water pump feeding 2 2gph drippers per plant.

right now im just running plain water becouse these plants were
as dry as could be.

I need to come up with a nutrient feeding level using hydroponic
nutrients. i was thinking of starting off with a 400 to 800 ppm
level
