How many days before I can pot this one up?
Comments (10)Nancy....Take it out of that pot please....Jeff's two cents worth are far more valuable than that. You will know it has rooted once you see any growth at all on top. They need cool dry nights and cool to hot days to root quickly. It might root for you, but the chances of it rooting in a climate like Arizona or even mine are more likely. I can root just about any jade cutting within a month or two that big and any cutting smaller than that within days. I have seen them root on side walks and in places you would least expect there at my Aunts, but that was usually during your cooler drier periods. For some reason, my Aunt can't get one to root in your summer, so therefore she waits until about December before she even attempts to.lol...See Morehow long before a bare root in water develops root rot
Comments (15)thanks Dingo. its not cold out tonight the low is 52. Today the high was 68. Good idea about trucking around the trees but I already heeled 25 paw paws in the ground, rinsed off 25 dogwoods and paper bagged them with 50 paw paw and 50 arborvitae. I put 25 arobrvitae 25 dogwood and 25 paw paw in a bucket of fresh water. I will plant the ones in water first thing in the morning. Hopefully I can get them all in the ground. I have a couple injuries from the military that have been getting worse the last couple years, or I would've been able to get all these trees in the first day....See MoreRoot rot? Or just heat
Comments (27)Just a few quick comments. Rosie-your leaves need more than a 'Titch' of water. (whatever that is.) Newly-planted leaves need to be thoroughly watered until the water passes through and out the bottom. Let drain a bit and then put them under a dome or in a tightly sealed plastic baggie. Your leaves are not getting enough water to stay alive. I know you're not a newbie-there has been a lot of rot going around this year. And I mean -A LOT. Bloomnewbi. Do not panic when you see a leaf that is droopy, browned, cupped, larger than normal, smaller than normal or anything that 'Looks funny". Do not wash roots. If you want to remove the soil for some reason, tease it off gently. You risk breakage and drying out which could be a death knell for your violet. Your one wilting leaf? Since it is on the outside row it is probably natural senescence. Your other newly re-potted violet needs to be domed or bagged until it begins growing well again. Sand is not an appropriate medium to use in Violet mixes Lucky-African Violets are day-length indeterminate which means they don't require a certain number of hours of light to bloom, or not bloom. Day length is not a factor in the blooming process. It is probably the heat and humidity that comes with longer days that your violets are objecting to. Sorry if I missed something. I skimmed this due to the lateness of the hour. .Linda...See MoreHow long before shrubs can get root rot?
