I have a cutting of an evergreen pine. I do not know the variety but I have had it stood in water for several months and it is beginning to form roots. The roots are only a couple of mm long. When should I transfer it to soil?
sorry yet will not be able to be adjusted-neons have been outfitted to a good funds as are all chryslers and as a result products which will not be able to be seen are regularly rater low value and nasty.its a shame coz the neon could have been a great motor vehicle if it wasnt for the value reducing wiin te production facility
You should bring it to a stereo and alarm professional, not a Dodge dealer. They will be able to disable it properly, or fix it so it will work properly. Those systems tie into so much, I would not mess with yourself.
As it's been in water for so long, I'd transition it from water only to a perlite or vermiculite base, still with water, and let its roots acclimatise to a different environment, albeit still with water around it. Let its roots grow for a couple more months, and then consider re-potting into a mix of soil and perlite/vermiculite as you used for the transitional stage - again, this mix will be less contrasting than just potting it straight into soil. I don't leave them too long without any nutrients, as they need these in order to grow well, and perlite/vermiculite have no nutrients, hence my moving them to a soil mix after just a few weeks. All of the cuttings that I root in water grow better this way, as water-only roots tend to be somewhat different from roots made into a solid substance, and are more fragile. Sometimes it may seem a slower way of doing things, but in the longer term it produces more robust young plants at a faster rate. You can get perlite/vermiculite from nurseries and some home supply stores such as Home Depot / Wilkinsons. Hope this helps. Good luck! Rob
i would agree with both answers. but do the soft plant with vermiculite and such as was suggested. don't leave in water any longer the roots will die
Hello, I would pot it on now. Plants don't like being in water too long. It's fantastic that you've got it to root, as pines are tricky. Fill a pot with half perlite and half peat. This will provide a firm rooting medium with good drainage. Place the cutting in a cold frame or in another protected cool area. Keep it out of direct sunlight. Once new needles have formed you can transplant to a bigger pot. Well done though. Derek
