thanks Arnie,

I will try the superthrive, i used it on a kiyohimie, which i repotted a month or 2 ago, and i think it helped as its shot out loads of new leaves. heres hoping.

I too thought i moved to much soil, but the soil it was in was like a bog, it was not sifted, it was clumped and not draining at all. plus it came away very easy. If tridents are as vigerous as im being told then im hoping with the mix i used the roots will have good space to grow into along with air getting to the roots.

Il keep a close eye on the watering of this tree. I defoliated all the big lives, id say i have left around 30% on the tree, made up of small leaves and new shoots.
