Well, Springtime inevitably is a busy time for planting seedlings. One of my seedlings is doing very well, Kittycatinus Felinius Scratchplant, these are notoriously hard to grow from seed and can take months to germinate. I’ve been cultivating one plant and it is almost ready to pot on, hopefully it isn’t too root bound.
Hope everyone else’s gardening adventures are coming along.
I tend to give it a good serving of blood and bone, as is good for any plant. As a concentrated fertiliser I use a gardener’s mix called Dreamies, they go down a treat. I’ve just repotted the Kittycatinus Felinius Scratchplant into a bigger pot, as you can see. This is to allow it to hardy up and be able to grow into a strong and healthy plant.
Generally, garden centres do not grow Kittycatinus Felinius Scratchplant for the simple reason that if they were, they would also need to stock Puppydoginus Caninius Sniffplant, and sometimes these two plants end up chasing each other around the nursery. Here is a Puppydoginus Caninius Sniffplant I planted, from seed, directly into the ground almost four years ago to this day, they tend to like muddy soil conditions and will grow well if planted there.
Kitticatinus Felinius on the other hand will not thrive at all well with too much water, as you can see here depicted. Go easy on the water. This one is having trouble with growth. Being bogged down in liquid, it is quite “unhappy” (if one can attribute human feelings to a plant.)
@Rups , aw…gutted. Oh, I bet the drenches you when you wash the dog. Mine did many many years ago. Especially my mum. She always dreaded it as it always soaked her after a shampooing.
@axnr911 , during the making of the second Top Gun film, the directors should have used this cat instead of Tom Cruise. Who wouldn’t watch that? A cat version of Top Gun?
