Weather: Fairly dry, overcast warmish day with the odd tiny spittle of rain. It suddenly turned cold towards the end of the day.
Collecting material from the Actinida. |
We did more cuttings today, including more Tagetes lemonii, Begonia metallica (we cut large leaves down almost into triangles for these), Centranthus ruber, and a type of Actinida (related to the kiwi fruit). All nodal cuttings except for the Actinida, which we have done as hardwood cuttings. Depending on the plant but I can roughly fit about 20-25 cuttings in a 5" pot.

I also potted up Phlomis tuberosa & Aconitum kelmscott seedlings. As we're tight for space and we are just overwintering these plants, we put them in a more restrictive pot size. We placed these underneath a coldframe.
