Repotting dracaena fragrans: bare root or not bare root.
Comments (4)I have no idea about the pics, though blog.com has a reputation for a lot of down-time. Thanks for letting me know! If you click again another time, hopefully it will work better. Hard to complain much about a free thingie, so I won't. Sorry it frustrated you! The pics here are of a diff plant, but the very same principle. " I am wondering if there's a way to have loose airy soil that that also have enough nutrients without frequent fertilizing." Generally yes, a bigger pot/more volume of soil mix. I would forego the styro & compost. The styro will just cause you to need to water (and repot) more often. Fertilizer is much more efficient at delivering nutrients in a pot which is not a large enough environment for the natural decomposition process to appropriately sustain/fortify plants. Also, as decomposition happens, the result is tiny, water-logged, airless particles (mud.) More about soil/watering. A Dracaena grows so slowly, an occasional dose of weak fertilizer should be more than enough even in the leanest (nutritionally) mix. The mix you described, or any with 30% compost would be too dense for my confidence. The goal of a coarser, grittier mix is to eliminate tiny particles of any type, peat, sand, clay, silt. Think moist particles that have some tiny air spaces between them so there is also oxygen, even when saturated to capacity. It's going way beyond my area of experience to give you a specific recipe since I break the rules I espouse but there are a glut of discussion here about this. I would follow the advice established in those. It gets perpetuated because it works well for so many people/plants.

Comments (8)Try removing all the dead stuff from the stump and if there is any rot cut back to healthy tissue. Let it callous over for a few days out of direct sun light but not in dark conditions. If you wanted some people dust the cut stem with cinnamon.then place in either soil with at least 50% perlite or into perlite itself ( I use the dirt/perlite myself) and keep it just moist but definitely not damp. Keep in good light out off direct sun and normal room temperature. Oh, I recomend using say a 3 or 3.5 inch clay pot with only enough soil to cover up that stem base to just below the leaves, this is a temporary situation as you are trying to root it. The pot rim should support the plant so it doesn't tip over. Good luck. It is possible that it did not have enough water and light. Gritty mix by it's very nature dries quickly so it needs to be watered more than standard potting soils. Sansevieria are said to grow in low light, that is not totally true; they survive in low light for a long time. They thrive in Bright indirect light and warm temperatures.

Comments (0)I ran out of planting room and put one rose in my bulb bed (this bed get's annuals planted that have low watering requirements- aka it's my ~dry flower bed in the summer~). I plan to dig out some bulbs and transplant them since the immediate vicinity of the roses will be consistently watered. How fast do feeder root from from a bare root rose. My goal/intent is to transplant the nearby bulbs (which sit about 10 inches away from the rose at this time). That would be after 6 weeks of sun once the bulb blooms out, so we're talking 2- 2 1/2months from now....See Moreelenazone6
