Prepping Mr. Stretchy for Transplant
|
|
Mr. Stretchy has been in the longer but clear container and he's ready to transplant.
I felt this urgently when I looked at the container and the drainage is not good enough. There was some risk of mold or root rot so over the past couple days I've been cutting slits in the plastic but it's not aerating fast enough.
So this morning I woke at 3:30, took the pot and set it on a chair near the heater, turned the heater on and went to Wal-Mart to get more lights and stuff.
Came back an hour later, this may have helped the drying some.
I have to dry out the soil before I transplant, so I don't pull away roots (soil on top is dry and moist on bottom).
So now as you see in this pic I have it sitting on top of the stove while I heat up some enchiladas...
