The Forest growing in my bedroom


After the striking wisterias, which are now thriving nicely, some other plants decided to wake up as well.

This is one of the wisterias that grew the most until now. Although now their growth has slow down, I will probably transplant them in spring in to bigger pots.   


My two-year-old Ginkgos have decided that they will also be waking up earlier this year.



I used to have had them in a dark and cold room, but still they have started to emerge. At first they were yellow, because there was no sun, and I had to act quickly, so that the new shoots wouldn’t become coloristic and stretched. So, the only place I could put them at was in my bedroom, right next to balcony window. And now their growth is great, I will just have to turn them around now and then, so they could grow up straight.   
So, now I have a forest growing in my bedroom.


    



Thank god that the small ones are still sleeping. But I wonder for how long. I hope this weather will come to it's senses soon, so that I can put my plants out. 

So, read you next time!

Wisterias on strike

My almost one year old wisterias have decided to go on a strike for the winter. I collected wisteria (probably these are from Wisteria sinensis) seeds by some old house in Celje, when my mates and I were going to grab a lunch. 
It was in the middle of winter time, so there were just bare branches with pods there. I took few just to try, if anything happens. 
I got eight seeds out of it, and six of them germinated quite quickly. They grew nicely throughout all summer, and became quite strong. In autumn, as every deciduous plant, they went to hibernation, and till late of the November, I left them out, but it got to cold, so I had to take them inside. 
I had put them next to  the gingkos, and today, when I went to check them out - if they needed to be watered (through the winter roots still grow, even if the plants are in hibernation, therefore plants that you grow in pods have to be watered a little, otherwise roots will go dry and the plant will die)-, and I noticed, that it was probably warm enough for the little wisterias to emerge. 
Now, I just put them under the light, next to my mosos, and I'm just letting them grow.






So, read you next time!
