Irapeanum update

[Berthold]

They are in a sterile container with 100% humidity until it is big enough to take it out.

Did You sterilize the substrate in the container?

Did You sterilize the substrate in the container?

Yes. Would it make sense to not sterilize it and replate it sterile on the other hand? oke:

Today






The second one...

I only asked because I didn't get my seedlings in a sterile containment.

Ok then it is a legitimized question I asked Jan if he could send them in a sterile tray

 

[Berthold]

Ok then it is a legitimized question

Thank You.

I don't believe it will helps. But I do it nevertheless because it should help also if You don't believe it.

Some news about my plants :

The big one seems to lack the light but grows well, while the second under the lamp is smaller ...




(sorry for the meaning of the photo)

 

[Seb63]

To have an idea of the size of the plant ...

 

[NYEric]

That's not bad. Good Luck.

Is there a rotting process going on below surface, which reduces the cell pressure of the plant?

 

[polyantha]

Nice well done! Yours is quite big already.

what do you mean? ... I think roots going well because the plant is still growing...but I did not dare scraped nor moved to not to disturb her...

 

[Berthold]

.. I think roots going well because the plant is still growing...

Fine, that is most important. Then I would help the plant standing upright by a stick

Then I would help the plant standing upright by a stick.

It depends on the light direction. If the light comes from the front (look at the phrag or kolo or whatever nearby) then it has found a way to get the maximum of light. And your goal is to get a big plant as fast as possible. So then it has to get enough energy from the light to store in the roots for next year. If you stake it i think you would do the opposite of helping the plant and this could have a negative effect on next years growh.

I did some research. If you are interested how the annual temps and rainfall in an irapeanum area are, you can follow this link: Estacion Toro Muerto It gives me some idea how to keep them alive in winter.

 

[Seb63]

Very interesting! ...thanks. ..I found some informations like that and I think it's more tolerant with lower temperature. ..
