What'cha got sprouting? (other plants) - Page 38

Goji Berry, 100 percent germination!

Kat2 · 02-02-2014, 06:46 PM

You'll have to wait for pictures until 2/23 when they're scheduled to emerge but I peeked and it appears at least 6 of my 36 horseradish hunks are sprouting; I checked 7. (Yes, I'm bad about letting rooting plants do their thing--I need more growing projects.)

Kat2 · 02-04-2014, 09:19 PM

Did I say 2/23? Yesterday there was nothing; today 5 are peeking up! In all fairness, these are the crowns so you'd expect them to emerge sooner. (I have 13 from 6 huge roots so they're all splits and 1 more than that.) 1/2" tall sprouts but doubles and triples on all that have emerged; I suspect my 6 roots could have easily been 72 starts or more rather than 36--these were honking big roots. Apparently I'm not the only one loving this warm spell!

Kat2 · 02-23-2014, 05:40 PM

Promised picture day. Rainy and miserable out and I'm no photographer. (I had no idea there are dandelions in FL--buds in butter are really rummy.)

Started 36 root pieces--gave away 6 of the largest last weekend leaving me 30. All but 4 have leaves showing and the last holdouts are sprouting underground. Holy cow! I'd better find a place to garden soon....

I'd give one of them a 2'x2' dedicated planter where the meandering root(s) can't escape, or a 25 gallon plastic nursery pot. I like the latter - you can just dump it out in the fall, cut the roots way back for consumption, then replant root and leaf crown for next year!

When cincinnana encouraged to me in this adventure I did some reading. I have grown horseradish; it was not invasive. However, I never harvested any because the roots were too small and too plentiful to peel and grate. Apparently commercial farmers lift them 2x a year and cut off the small side shoots so growth is concentrated in the main root. Makes sense to me. I do plan to contain my "patch" in pots. Hey, I might sell a few starts on Craigslist--much as I adore horseradish 30 roots in 1 year would be more than I could devour.

Now that daylight hours are starting to increase, some of my indoor plants are starting to wake up.

DCXL venus fly trap

B52 venus fly trap

Drosera regia plus seedlings

Amorphophallus titanum

stevelau1911 · 03-08-2014, 12:07 AM

My DCXL venus fly traps are definitely getting bigger now 5 days after the picture from before. It looks like traps on all the plants get bigger on every new leaf.

Kat2 · 03-15-2014, 07:46 PM

Not very exciting but I planted a few veggies Wednesday and I have okra, beets and lettuce popping up! Not my garden so of course they're knocking themselves out to prove things do grow in FL. However, the 2 bean plants (potted with a red pepper) that I dragged down from Jacksonville are not only blooming but have tiny beans on them!

I_GROWER · 03-25-2014, 03:32 PM

Black Sapote, that will never find a permanent home.
Perhaps container grown

Some type of lettuce or weeds lol (can u help ID?)

Yucca and coffee? Lol IDK in the compose

Peppers and corn in the other compose

Anybody else repot compose seedlings?

sunfish · 03-29-2014, 11:03 PM

Kat2 · 04-03-2014, 06:42 PM

Totally plebeian fare but I transplanted 28 mixed basils and some marigolds today that had sprouted a week or so ago in a common pot; I gave them their own cells. I have beans, cukes, lettuce, arugula and beets up. Silly stuff, yes, but very tasty.

jbyrd88888 · 05-19-2014, 02:57 PM

24 different LOTUS! (hope they're dif.)

Yeah, I'm sure I'll have lots of fun overwintering these... Got all my pots ready to go in my pond when they have sprouted enough... I really didn't expect to see SOOOO many of these actually germinate!
Only 3 floaters, 2 of them worked out! More probably sprouting tomorrow!
Got 10 or 11 seeds of each type for less than $15 shipped... More than a 50% germination rate for each! I'll probably only end up planting 2 seeds of each.

Got a Ebay seller to recommend if anyone is interested P.M.

Olafhenny · 05-19-2014, 04:41 PM

Hi Justin,

your mass processing of seedlings made me think, that you might be able to use an
idea, I had recently, providing you can get juice in this type of container in the US:

The volume is one litre and when cut in half, you get two containers of >one pint each.

But here is the real clincher: Twenty of these “pots” fit snugly into your standard garden
centre tray. Efficient, no gaps, and wasted space, as you would have with round pots.
Unfortunately I have so far not been able to collect nearly enough empties to accommodate
all of my 33 quat seedlings:

It is not evident from this photo, but the little boxes contain much more soil than the
round pots and I can fit 8 of them, where there are now only 5 pots.

The quat are relatively slow growers and I can keep them in these boxes all summer
long on automatic sprinkler.

Best,
Olaf

orinoko · 07-19-2014, 11:04 AM

I have rooted an Acer of mine...losing the mother and none in reserve is not an option,

I have hopes of the baby plants survival...three more waiting to root.

The Hollyberry Lady · 07-19-2014, 07:51 PM

Wow, congrats, Orinoko! Very cool.

Rejoining this site briefly to ask you what your method was, to root your acer cutting? How long did it take?

I'm in the process of rooting some Japanese Red Maple cuttings, using a heat mat and fluorescent lights. They're covered, under glass.

Very curious about your methods, Orinoko. Thanks.

I_GROWER · 08-05-2014, 11:37 AM

about 30+ banana pups

Funkthulhu · 08-15-2014, 01:20 PM

since photographing seedlings seems to be a curse that kills, I will only describe. . .

I finally have a papaya seed sprouting!

We'll take this as it goes, but it has lasted a week so far!

merce3 · 09-06-2014, 08:42 PM

i have some purple sugarcane, passion fruit, mamey sapote, and a sweet tart and dam doc mai mango sprouting. pics in the morning

I_GROWER · 10-01-2014, 11:10 AM

guandules and Mango "Toledo" seedling will most likely stay in a container or dropped In a low key spot

Mammey sapote seedling to test my grafting skills
