question on dividing pups

lwabirds · 05-29-2008, 08:24 AM

I followed the tutorial that was posted and divided up 9
bajsoo's on Saturday. They're
approx 3 feet tall. I've been keeping them on the
edge of the car port so
that they won't get the hot direct sun. They got
about an hour of evening sun
yesterday and really started to wilt (leaves). Is this
normal? Should I not
worry about the leaves and leave them out on the
patio unprotected from the sun? How
long does it generally take for them to grow root
mass and begin new
growth? how much sun should they get? morning, all day,
evening?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

ive had plants take up to a month to recover and start new growth, morning sun would be the best and dont water till they start growing or become real dry, because if they are not growing they wont use any water and could start rotting,hope this helps, happy growing!!!!!!

Hey!
I don't know what the rule is...LOL But I usually soak them in seaweed (kelp) for a day or so then pot them up water them in and put them on the porch with indirect light.. Kinda like harding off a seedling. Jeff is right to much water is a bad thing.. Good luck!!!

yes the drooping is normal. i seperated 3 musella pups the 1st of may and had them in mostly shade for a month, and they are still a little droopy but are producing new leaves.i just put them in full sun the other day. so yours should be ok. just remember to water them.

I've cropped 4 namwah pups (still 2 w/ mom) a week apart 2 each time. Mom had leaf distress, but as long as the pups have roots your good. I use root stimulator for several weeks until established. Cavendish's are easy as well.
