Hey guys, I received a cutting...a very extremely well rooted cutting and I need some opinions on how to pot it up. The stem on this cutting is a little under an inch tall, but the root system is at least 8" long. Any potting suggestions?
Hey Dude,
Same thing happened to me a while back when I accidently butchered my tobaica. I wound up with a 2 inch plant (like 3 leaves or so) and a whole mass of roots. I just potted it up and put it close to the lights. Worked out pretty well. I think, though, it is going to depend a little on the species (tobaica has turned out to be something of a weed
)...What kind is it?
Who was that I eventually traded that off to? I forget...Was that you Snowyfalcon? My memory these days...it's really good, just really short!
Anyhow, whoever you are, if you read this, post your comments on how it's doing!
It's the hareliana cultivar. I'm just basically trying to figure out if I should put it in a 10" deep or so pot since the roots are that long. I potted it up actually in a 4.5 inch pot since that's what I had and the first leaf to open looks a little odd. I'm guessing from root stress.
Just to let you know, the D. Capensis seeds you sent me are up and growing, and even have a few carnivorous leaves! Though slow growing, I know it will be worth it.
