Sommer Gardens / Monday, November 19, 2007 / Categories: Brugmansia, Random thoughts, Seedlings Oh my aching back.... This weekend I continued to clean-up my brugmansia seedling collection. I decided to let the plants in one gallon pots stay in their original pots rather then up size them to larger ones. Most are rooted in the ground so they have the stability they need to stay upright. Another group of younger gallon size plants had been attacked by caterpillars so I removed the damaged leaves and spaced the plants out.For my major weekend project I opted to move my larger 3 inch potted seedlings up to 4 1/2 deep pots for the winter. I also gave them a dose of timed release fertilizer, something I may regret if we have a cold winter. At last count I believe I moved up just over 500 seedlings. Within the next week I'll zap them with some growth regulator to help keep them compact as they mature.I spent about half the weekend bending over and now my back is telling me how displeased it is with me. Oh to be young again.... Mission accomplished! These fins are made for walking.... Print Rate this article: No rating 8502 Tags:BrugmansiarepottingSeedlings
