So First up we have my Trident maple
I got this off Ebay not too long ago
I have fertilized it one time, I may have overwatered it recently cause all the leaves burned up and I thought it was gonna die but it seems to be doing good. been less than a week since that happened. its about 2 ft tall, and 1.5 ft wide with about a 3 or 4 inch nebari, the trunk is only about 1.5 inches tho.
Picture of recent water damage/ leaf burning
I need to thicken the trunk and I want some kind of movement and taper.
I may need to graft some roots to the other side of the Nebari. Its not as full on the other side.
I guess I need to figure out if I want to air layer the top off, whether or not its worth it
Then If im gonna chop trunk maybe make grow box or put in ground
Not 100% on exact look im going for, once I develop trunk more I will be more sure
I also have my 2 Red Japanese maples, got them as a gift about a month ago.
Even tho I personally didnt think it was time to wire, I wired one up that I wanted to separate the two branches that were growing so close together.
they are about 1.5 ft tall and .5 inches wide
These ones I want to fatten up a bit, I am thinking maybe keep one as shohin or similar eventually and let the other one grow in the ground maybe?
Finally my Azalea. I also got this recently off ebay
Its about a foot across and maybe 8 inches tall
When I first got it I tried to repot but the roots were really wet and I had lost enough of the roots where i just left the old soil, I think its vermeculite(hate that stuff) or simply just straight strophoam crumbles(thats what it felt like) either way, left what was left and stuck it in the new soil and said I would try another time
2 stems dropped off during this repot its been a while and they are still green so I may have some rooted cuttings, im not sure. ill have to check at some point if
I want this to grow out alot more obviously
once its done flowering and starts to develop more branching I can figure out more of a direction I want to take hopefully this grows like crazy, Im half tempted to pop the flower buds off so it diverts to growing more. sadly, I thought I had done this already but it must have just been leaves. stupid mistake.
Keeping them alive is the major plan though!
