Question
Allexpers,
)
I have a question when do you transfer the root cutting into another pot? I got one of the roots of the D. multi fida to make new plants from the roots. I have attached a photo it is a bit unclear. Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
Weylin
Hi Weylin,
Even though I can't see anything on the photo, the time to transplant these is when they look like growing plants. We usually wait until they are about 2-3 inches tall, and have at least 3 leaves. You need to give them time to form more of their own root system. For us in the greenhouse this is usually around 3-4 months depending on temperatures. Bottom line here, don't hurry this process, or it's likely to not end well.
Good Growing!
