Hi all ... I've got them planted ! No, I am not done mulching, but I just couldn't leave them in those four inch pots any longer. It was killing me.
Lynn ... you asked for photos, but you are going to get photos and questions. I do hope you don't mind.
My day temps have been hovering around 100F and I have all of the containers you will see under the dogwood tree. I didn't want to test them in their possible new sites until they had settled into the containers.
To me, the are all NOID plants.
This is the first photo of NOID # 3 that I posted before I potted it up into a potting mix that I think is quite course and doesn't seem quite right. It's the first one I transplanted.
In it's new pot:
One of the babies fell off, so I put it into the two ince pot I took the original plant from and have been misting it. It's not dead, but it doesn't look like it is rooting.
This is NOID # 4
It originally had a lot of little ball like things on it. When I took this photo none of the little balls could be seen as it was outgrowing it's 4" pot:
One of them fell off and I set it in this little pot and have been misting it.
When I took it out of it's 4" pot, it kind of fell apart. I put most of it in one container with a couple of the broken parts along the edge of the container, and then put some of the other broken bits in smaller pots.
The little parts in other pots:
This is the one I call NOID # 5
It didn't fall apart when I took it out of the 4" pot, so I planted the whole thing in one container:
Now for the questions.
With my high temps and dry climate is misting them enough while they are settling ?
Should I water NOID # 5 since it's root ball did not fall apart ? The center plant looks droopy to my untrained eye.
How long before I stop misting and actually water them ?
When is it safe to start moving them out of the shade to places where they might be actually planted into the ground as their permanent home ?
Smiles,
Lyn
PS ... I haven't done anything with the Dragon's Blood or the Angelina semps ... are those semps ?
