Hey Everyone!

Just thought I would give a update on my Crepe, it has come along quite nicely in the last 15 months this being my first Crepe I was quite surprised on how much root it had developed in that time, I think the diatomite has worked wonders in this department.

I gave it a repot yesterday and potted it in a large bonsai pot that I have made and am really happy with the results!

Any comments good or bad more than welcome!!
