Tonight I cleaned up and repotted an aged shohin Lantana camara. I have seen very few Lantana display such a fine crackled bark; nearly corked. Nice.
Over the years my Lantana have suffered from Lantana Flower Gall Mites, Aceria lantanae. I was unable to identify it until recently and have got my Lantana's back on track. No flowers until we build branching.
First photo is before working.
Second photo; the backside may become the front. I enjoy this view quite a bit.
Third photo is a bark detail photo. Had to dig quite far down to find the nebari.
Last photo is the original frontside. Currently positioned in the pot to display this view, but I will work with the opposite view in mind. It is nice to have shohin designed to be viewed from either orientation for use in display.
Pot is cheap Chinese. By mid-summer I will be looking for a nice pot. Will be due for another repotting by that time as well.
