Perhaps a shower of peroxide 3% diluted in water won't hurt.

Thanks, I’ll try. How concentrated need to be? Something like 1:10 for a 0,3% dilution is okay?

I use 1 tablespoon for every liter of water.
I know people using two or even three tbsp, but I am conservative when dealing with my plants.

The material (or anti-material..), titled “Lazarus”, giving new buds every day. I’m happy... ^^



Lol.. It’s a sucker that high?

We overcome scale insects, mealyes and fungi all together to get the conclusion, that this heavy infestation was just the secondary symptome for that weakened plant. The main problem here is looks also the soil, like with the JM (I’ll never ever let again older nursery stock sitting in the nursery soil for long...).
When I dosed some micronutrients and iron, the tree came out with green growth for few days, but without this, it’s pushing out funky colored leaves. This meant to me, the soil is that tired, and plant could be that rootbound. Today I did the same loosening-slip potting to it, what I did for the maple with success, not long time ago.

I wait impatiently to fully repot this bastartd.. I don’t want to loose. It’s started like an ugly thing where I can try some techniques to learn, but more I staring it, more I like.

First I thought, the color is cause of the cultivar, but I quickly realized that, even if the leaves emerging red, they need to change their color to green when fully hardened.

Top 3 leaves are the new, green growth from the week where I used heavy micronutrients.


This twig extended, but the fist leaf pairs scorched and dried after emerging. The newer leaves are bigger and healthier, but the color still not change.


Some more:


And all of that fight, cause I see something in its trunk. If everything will be ok with, I’ll chop down like no tomorrow...
Aw.. I already chose a new Dremel, cause my machines not enough delicate, or too delicate for carving. (Or just a good excuse, cause I cannot living without new toys?!)

This is a plant you collected in the last 12 months? Then do not chop down. The plant is clearly working hard on getting established. It needs every leaf right now. Health over pretty. Always.

No, it’s a nursery material, since 2015 in this pot according to the store label. It was thrown away and left to death. I picked up (30.May) to excercise, but turned out I want to keep and with time, try to make an acceptable tree from it. I won’t planned to chop soon. It depends it’s health when I’ll start to work with (“If everything will be ok”). The first thing will be a repot on next spring.

Just found the label
So I adopted a crippled stray from the kill shelter for 5.- fee..

I have a little time to update the subjects.

I killed the Nothofagus in a way, I’m not so proud. I simply not protected from the weather, even I saw it highly dislikes it’s current position. I just pushed down the priority to “maybe tomorrow”. That was an ahole move from me...

The field maple will be fine I think. Still have trouble with micronuts uptake, but I’ll fight with this till I repot. The soil what I added when slip potted around PH 6,5-7, but the original soil around PH 7,5 or slightly higher. I have hard water. I’ll find an other source. I don’t know, if it was a mistake that I didn’t repotted fully when I bought home. The tree was very weak, and I had no knowledge to deal with the situation and stress more than I felt necessary.
I detached the remaining sucker from it two weeks ago, and today I pinned down the root with alu wire. I’ll take care on the next spring.

And the Juniper! I really love this cheapo.. It came out smoothly from tip blight, and started a light budding. That moment I changed its cachepot for something what didn’t let evaporate humidity. That mistake stunned the growth, but after correction, and keeping the pot naked, it have new growth on every living branches. Maybe it’ll be ready for a first initial styling on the right time, but I don’t rush. I have some nice imaginations what could it became, but first to be sure, it’s stable.
