In my bush-house
I’m not sure if the weather knows what its doing but I
am well into the repotting this year. Since I have retired
this year is very different from the preceding 5 years as
I struggled to repot in between weekends interlaced with
shows and domestic duties. Now I have 5 days of the
week to repot. Why not 7? Well we mind our 3 year old
grandson 2 days of the week and he won’t sit still long
enough for any repotting and trying to keep scissors
and other lethal weapons out of his reach while actually
getting some ‘work’ done is demanding. Last week
while he was ‘helping’ me he spied the little tomahawk I
sometimes use to knock plants out for the pots and he
was on it like a flash. Eyes beaming as he picked it up
declaring as he started to give it a swing “Fireman use this
to break down the door Grandpa”. I had a vision of a hole
through our new front and back doors as I removed the
offending piece from his hands and then had to divert his
attention on to something more useful. So that was the
end of potting for that day.
I also ran out of bark so potting was delayed until a new
batch came in as well as pots. Now both are dwindling as
the potting gets into swing. I have also found that now I am
not able to pot from dawn to dusk as I used to so do it now
in 4 hour shifts. Getting old is the pits.
Anyway a few observations have helped such as keeping dates on your plant tag so you know how long the
plant has been in the pot. For me maximum of 3 years
and preferably no more than 2 years. So I sort through
all the plants and settle with the plants that just have
to be potted on as they take the least amount of time
and get those done first which will leave the divisions
to last as some of these may take 1 hour or more each
depending on the plant and if I don’t want to lose many
pieces.
All the plants get new mix and pots and a top dressing of Osmocote® controlled release fertiliser Pro Low P
16 - 13.9 - 9.1 + 1.8Mg + TE 8-9 month.
For the first time plants that grow too slowly are being
discarded if it’s still in a 200 mm pot after 8 years they are
going in the bin, no room no time. After growing a veggie
garden this year I finally see the reason to selectively
thin the garden bed out so the other plants have room
and energy to grow successfully. I have to admit that I
have often persevered with a plant long after I should
have. If a speciosum has not reached a 200 mm pot in
5 years, apart from pedunculatum, then you should look
at your growing methods and seriously decide whether
to continue with that plant. If all other plants are tearing
past it then it can’t be your conditions or you so it’s the
plant. Next decision is which red bin it should go in.
The sarcs will be potted last and should now be done in
March, April or May next year, as the weather will start
to ease off and the roots will start to grow again and they
can get into a new potting mix before the next flowering
season.
