Left Over Glue

Howdy.

I am a total newbie.

I purchased a San Jose Juniper tree at a local Target. As Other posts suggested, I removed the treacherous glued rocks; however, there is some glue left over in the soil. I am afraid to pick at it because the skinny roots of the tree are in the soil and I do not wish to break the roots.

Any suggestions?

Re: Left Over Glue

Hi There nightline,

The rocks themselves are no real danger. It's just that having a thick pad of matted glue and rock uses up a lot of that precious soil-to-air interface in your pot, and it can lead to rot and uneven watering.

If you've removed the bulk of the mess, you should be fine. You can add a little more soil or some "unglued" gravel to the surface to hide the glue remnants and get after them at your first repotting.

Regards,

Matt
