Hi,
Can anyone recommend a good tree for planting in a pot with the placenta. I have been told citrus trees are good but I am not a great fan and was hoping there might be a native alternative. Thanks ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Milipidi have you found anything yet? I'm not great with suggestions 'cause I would definitely go with a citrus or dwarf apple or something if it were me! Would be interesting to hear what you choose in the end. Does it have to be a tree? The other thing I would probably choose for myself would be a rose of some sort but only because I love them. |

I did not know you could put placentas in pots (never thought about it), I have 2 in the freezer & this goes back 6+ yrs  DS1's we planed with a native tree on the IL's farm...then they sold up & moved & we sold up & moved not long after DS2 was born so never planted one then...so don't want the same thing happening again.
Will look at doing a rose bush...can you put 2 placentas in the same pot? |

we have 2 in the freezer too.....I've been thinking about a pot lately too as I dont like the idea of moving after we plant them...mind you they are doing F all in the freezer LOL I'm just worried I will kill whatever I plant and then worry its a bad omen

Hi there, we planted our sons placenta in a pot with a dwarf kowhai. It's doing really well

We finally (he is 23 months now) got round to planting Roman's placenta in a pot with a mandarin tree - doing well so far (and I have 2 brown thumbs!)  -------------

Sorry DS arrived not long after I posted this and I haven't been near the forums until now.
After some discussion the MIL has offered to take the placenta back up north and have it planted with his tipuna up there. I do like the dwarf kowhai suggestion though. Being from the Bay I was also considering an olive tree which I have heard do quite well. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

nzpiper and jazzy
The info I found on planting them in a pot is to ensure that the pot is at least 450mm high so that it allows enough room between placenta and roots to ensure they don't get burnt. Alternatively the placenta can be composted into a smaller pot and the plant added later. Only other word of advice I have had is to leave the pot on the ground/grass because it can leak. ------------- http://lilypie.com">
