Flushed the potting medium.

So today, I flushed my new mango tree's potting medium. The EC reading was over 2900 and that's not good. I took it to the kitchen and ran a lot of water thru it, and now the EC reading is 649. Better. I wrapped a wet paper towel around the base of the trunk in the hopes that it will help keep the trunk alive.
I also flushed my Lychee tree too. its EC reading was off the charts. Now it reads about 345.
