planted biodegradable pots incorrectly
Comments (14)I hate those things... Roots grow too fast and most people's soils cannot break the pots down properly or quickly enough. I also hate the "cut the bottom off" suggestion many companies/growers use because it hinders lateral growth of roots forcing more roots deeper past soil that contains some of the most nutrient rich parts of the soil. I always cut the plants out of those pots with scissors and throw the pots on the compost pile. This post was edited by nc-crn on Mon, Apr 22, 13 at 16:41...See MorePlanted my lilacs incorrectly
Comments (5)Sorry for the late reply, I never received email notification that someone had responded to my thread. I have two lilacs that I planted in this way and they're in pretty much full sun all day. There's some larger trees in the area which shade them a for an hour or two out of the day. I don't know if they're dwarf lilacs or not. The cultivars are: President Lincoln Lilac - to 10' tall Katherine Havemeyer Lilac - to 12' tall Actually last fall was their second fall. And I haven't pruned them yet. I didn't add any fertilizer at planting or anytime after. I read where lilacs really don't need fertilizer? They actually look good, nice lush green foliage. I guess I'm just worried that improper planting might stunt them or cause them to never bloom?

Comments (10)Lainey, you opened up a hornet's nest I suspect. In common Hostaholic parlance an 'eye' is the shoot on a piece of crown with roots attached. Never mind whether or not this is technically the correct term -which it isn't- but it is common in most Hostaholic's vocabulary. There are apical buds, or dormant 'eyes', and once those swell and open up to show emerging leaves they become shoots, but just because that's technically more correct I'm afraid that's like swimming up stream, or worse. I have participated in a fair number of trades over the past three years and personally I will send at least one shoot, but prefer to send 2 or 3 shoots, simply because that's what I'd like to receive: do unto others as you'd have done to you. It may be somewhat easier to do for me since I divide a given plant one year and typically do not use those divisions for trade or sale until the next year, at which point they likely have more then one shoot anyway. What I have found to be an issue seemingly with most trades is proper identification. The last 3 trades I have received, each at least 7 or 8 different cultivars, there was one plant in each that was improperly identified, typically because the sender had originally received/purchased the plant labeled incorrectly. For that reason I prefer to exchange pictures of the plants under consideration first, before the trade actually takes place. My recipient will in fact get pictures of the very plants I am proposing to send. Pieter...See MoreRelated Professionals
