Acer Palmatum Inaba Shidare
"Mike Lyle" wrote in message om... [snip] I'd also guess (but it's only a guess) 40 cm is too big a pot: best way is the old rule of patiently going up one size at a time, and only when the roots have definitely reached the outside of the old pot, so that any water you give will immediately go to the plant, rather than hang about going stagnant. (Some people, in this group notably Franz, ignore this rule without ill effect; but they have a watering regime to suit.) That is an urban legend. If there were any truth in it, all plants planted in the open ground, which is an infinite sized pot for practical purposes, should fail. I planted a very young Acer palmatum atropurpureum directly in a 45 cm pot about eight years ago and have never repotted it. It thrives. Franz |
