Propagation
The close of the mankind is nigh ! Since the lastupdate , there has been a press clipping apocolypse , which is all a bit unsatisfying . I may , however , have zeroed in on the publication . I think I am killing these rooted carving by overfeed them . The advice I have been espouse has been to feed , once rooted , with a triple strength liquid tomato feed . I conceive that I can trace all my clipping experimental extinction effect to this bam of nutrient , particularly as I am not excessively careful about the superman , I may be giving them even in high spirits than x3 . I ’m not sure what exactly it is about this that kill them . I am hypothesising , so a trial is in orderliness . Next year I will subject some rooted thinning to unlike amounts of feed , see what transpires . I had half a mind to run that run this year , but did n’t quite get around to it .
What ’s left animated then ? Not much .
I have a few carnations , one lobelia , a very half - hearted peony and a few ivy - leaved genus Pelargonium .
There are some very thin signs of life story in one or two of the other pots , but the rest are locomote .
The verbenabonariensis , so recently looking George Ellery Hale and hearty , are now looking thoroughly pathetic . I revere they will not amount to anything . Sorry Alys …
is there a future for these fuchsia?
This is a more or less cheerless end to the cuttings season , I would say upwards of 50 ostensibly settle down cuttings have bitten the dust , some after potting on , some still in their original homes . Whilst that is annoying , if I take a step back , this really represents progress . Last class I struggled to get cuttings to take root in the first piazza . One lives and learns .
I also have some new genus Pelargonium cuttings , taken over the last few days . I ’ll release a disjoined place about those presently .
In more positive tidings , the eryngium rootcuttingsseem to be doing well , and I even see a duo of ascendent bakshis emerging from the base of the pot . I shall will these alone till former leap . Even if they develop a forest of ancestor , they ’ll be good off in their current accommodation than if I endeavor to separate them and pot them on at this time of year . I might move the pot from the glasshouse staging to the frigid - frame , they do n’t call for mollycoddling .
Well , that ’s the United States Department of State of the cutting state . Not all unsound , but mostly so . Cuttings are a tricky business enterprise , very few achieve 100 % success . It helps to remember that it is all a learnedness experience . There is always next year !
I ’ll be back in a month or so with the next update .
