from unrooted cuttings to rooted cuttings...we're sticking!




Here is the latest installment of the poinsettia crop 2010.  Last week the poinsettias finally had enough new roots and the plants were making a few new leaves that I decided it was time to start planting.  So on Thursday, we started filling pots with potting soil and setting them on the benches.  They are grouped in various sizes based on the variety and the number of plants per pot.  Here are a couple pictures showing a few of the poinsettias planted and a shot of the pots dibbled (holes poked in the soil to allow for the rooted Oasis wedge.  Enjoy the pictures.

The variety to the above-left is called Christmas Feelings Red.  The cuttings are very consistent in stem caliper, length and root structure.  These plants are off to a great start.
