Hi Marge,
Many thanks for you detailed response.
Now that you mention it, and I've had a closer look, they are definitely
root sprouts, though the stems are beginning to push out as well.
I'm not sure I can buy a bagged, soilless potting mix in my town. I may
need to drive up the road today before I start potting up. Is there
anything in particular that you use? At home I have a bag of peat moss, a
bag of sand, some vermiculite and some perlite. Will any of that do? Does
the mixture have to be completely soilless?
My choices are to winter them over in an unheated garage (north or south
window, depending on whether or not sun is desirable), or in a "heated"
laundry room (which never gets warm like the rest of the house) near a west
facing window.
I have a propagation book right now that I've borrowed from the library,
but I couldn't find the answers to my questions there. Any good books that
you can recommend?
By the way, I just paid a quick visit to your website. I don't have any
shade at all near the house. Everything is in full sun. But I can't wait to
have some time to sit and read some of the other very interesting articles.
Thanks for that info, as well.
