On todays episode, wire training a seven year old Chinese Juniper.
Quick tips:
Use appropriate wire thickness to coil branches
Don’t coil so tight as to bruise the branch
Use thumbs as a fulcrum to coil the wire
Try not to make too sharp a bend
While visting our local plant shop, I noticed some really great looking orchids and bought on an impulse. Eye catching huge dark-purple flowers and extraordinary looking root system really sold me.
Flowers are 13 cm across, thick waxy texture with a blue-black lip.
The root system on this plant is about 76 cm. Roots should be allowed to let dry between watering, every 5 to 12 days. Fertilize every 5th watering.
