I think I can plant my semps tonight, if I have any energy left, or tomorrow morning. I am still mulching, but night temps are cooler for two more nights, so , I can work in the evening. Day temps are in the 80s for today and tomorrow, then it's back up to the triple digits.
I have read all of the articles on ATP. Some say to just mist new plants others say to water them in a bit. Several say "soil", but I can't quite figure out the right mix to use. I do know it has to drain fast.
This morning I went out and gleaned some dg or very gritty sand.
Now, I have gritty sand, grit, light potting soil, heavier potting soil, perlite and rocks for top mulching and a couple of wide containers. I should be ready to go, so now for the specific questions.
I need to know the soil mix.
When potting up the plants in the four inch pots, do I just pot up the whole thing without messing with the roots at all, or do I try to separate the chicks ?
These are the photos I took two weeks ago .. the plants are already bigger ........
Is this one too wet ?
The 'Dragon's Blood' is looking kind of leggy. I have some meat trays saved and can lift them out of this pot and plant them in the trays. Do I need to make drainage holes in the trays ? Or is this pot of DB still OK ?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions you may have.
Smiles,
Lyn
