Today, whole leafs have opened out on most of the Diospyros lotus cuttings. Several leafs are also half open on the Ficus “Panache” and “Black Fig I” cuttings. One of the Punica “Golden Globe” cuttings and one of the Punica “White Flower” cuttings are putting out green growth at the nodes about 1/16 inch long and half as wide.
A half-cup of water was recovered from the enclosure hood and poured into the Black Fig I peat pots which were beginning to show signs of dryness.
One-third teaspoon of alfalfa meal was distributed in each of the 18 peat pots.
A small amount of hairy fungus developed overnight again on the Brown Turkey cuttings. It was again treated with Physan 20, but a stronger 1% solution (2.5 teaspoons to 1 cup water in hand-held sprayer).
