[IBC] Collected (butchered) elm update
Hey everyone, the support and encouragement from everyone has been
amazing, thank you all so much for your input. Here's the plan I decided to go with (a mash of suggestions and a nice pinch of gut feeling thrown in) My gut told me to treat it like a cutting I was trying to root, so the setup is basically that, with provisions made to try and keep the roots on it alive. -soaked remaining roots with superthrive -nebari/trunk split wrapped snuggly with raffia (clean) -slightly oversized training pot -frankenstiened plastic bag mini greenhouse enclosure (with some ventilation) -damp soil (closer to dry than wet) -tree is in bright but constant shade It's day 3 since the poor thing was ripped from the ground, and so far no leaves have dropped, changed color, or wilted. I have 2 questions, 1 if the tree's going to die, how soon would I know? If there appears to be no change (it still looks healthy) for say... 2 weeks, can i assume it's going to make it (with proper pampering/care)? and 2, any more thoughts about fertilizing? should I continue treatment with superthrive? Thanks, Justin ************************************************** ****************************** ++++Sponsored, in part, by John Quinn++++ ************************************************** ****************************** -- The IBC HOME PAGE & FAQ: http://www.internetbonsaiclub.org/ -- +++++ Questions?
