It's worked so far and this guy will need the same care for a while until it gets bigger. I wouldn't do anything with high nitrogen. I doubt the young tender roots could handle it. If you want to fertilize, I would only use a starter fertilizer (one for transplanting plants and helps prevent shock) or something like Fish Emulsion fertilizer. With those parents, you could get a pretty interesting bloom. Here are pics of a successful propagation attempt of mine. The parents are The President (Father) and Erin Rachel (Mother). When I managed to grow the babies (three of the five lived) to the point of blooming, I was so excited that I named them after that feeling - Pukin' Happy. ;) I don't have a picture of the Father, but it's a single red. Here is a picture of Erin Rachel and Pukin' Happy. Good luck! Barb |
