Mine's 2 1/2' tall now and pot bound, so need to pot on after it's flowered.
Found all sorts of conflicting advice on the web only thing they all agree on is doesn't like waterlogged soil, not many plants do!

What I'd like to know is; do they need ericaceous soil?

    Don't know exactly, it was a freebie from a neighbours garden.
    Can make out New Zealand tea tree on the tag but thats it, and for the life of me I can't remember if the flowers are red or white :o but I'll know in a couple of weeks;)

    Google it and look for Leptospermum scoparium.

    Thanks but I've done that, hence my original question if anyone has one and has potted it on.
