Imperial Masterpiece
Last year, I removed some of the roots left after uprooting an Acer campestre.
They had produced new shoots, I just threw them in a plastic pot and added some pine bark, thinking I would maybe use them one way or another. But they lost their leaves in July for lack of watering and I thought they were dead. But today, I saw that the buds on the five of them were about to open!
So:
I put some Chiloe sphagnum moss soaked in "organic hormons" and fine sand over it before wrapping it with plastic from a dustbin liner.
I potted two others in plastic pots (like the one you can see on the right in the last pic), one that had very long roots in a cardboard whisky container, and one that could one day be styled with a "Chinese feel":
I wish it worked on A. palmatum or A. buergerianum!
Unfortunately it doesn't...
