3/17/26 – Lots of new growth on this wonderful little manzanita from Las Pilitas.
2/14/26 – First flowers ever on this Margarita’s Joy. It’s a slow grower and seems to be doing well in the pot. I remember adding lots of compost when I planted this, I think that’s why it’s doing so well. Some of my other potted manzanitas without compost added are having issues. They seem to suck up the nutrients in a 20 gallon pot in about 8 months or so. I’m adding things like BioChar as well as compost to my soil mixes moving forward.
9/24/25 – I’ve had this plant for about 13 months now. I put it into this larger pot about 3 months ago, along with some Malibu Compost and it’s responded nicely. This looks like it’s going to be a great little manzanita.
Purchased from Las Pilitas on 8/21/24 (Arctostaphylos pechoensis)
I bought this with the intention of keeping it in a pot since it’s on the smaller side.
