Sorry, I was off searching for ph strips and neem oil. I was surprised to find neem oil at the garden centre. They were out of ph kits but said a hydroponics place would probably have that. I had never been in the hydroponics place. Good thing because it turned out to be a bonanza for the products I’ve heard people talk about. They have cold pressed neem oil. I didn’t realize it was like buying olive oil…..and just as expensive. Got a ph test kit and have some of my soil soaking in distilled water as I type. Should be able to get the results in about 2 hours. I was told I should be using a good organic liquid fertilizer so I wouldn’t get the salt buildup. I got some regular and some bloom buster. They even have Superthrive at this store but I’d already spent a bundle so it’ll have to wait until next time.

Okay….the leaves on my kenejiana. I did get it from Flora Exotica last fall Christine. I got an email from Sandy this morning and she said to compare them to the leaves on this site.

I would say they are very much like mine so now I’m not sure what to think. Carol the mature leaves are about 5 ½ “ long by about 2 1/8” at the widest point. If by recurve you mean they come up and then bend back from the centre then I would say yes.

Here’s a picture of the top of the leaf.
