Overwintering in Sanbritainia ~ Progress Part 1
I started February with this article, which I’ve been wanting to write for a long time.

…

In order to realize the red garden of my dreams, I am letting Sanbritainia grow through the winter.
This is the progress in progress. Last time here.

Then on December 10th, the length got in the way again so I cut it.

Although the days have been warm for a while, I want to take good care of it, so I bring it indoors at night.
So it hit various places, and as a result, it broke again and became smaller.

One month later, on January 4th of last month, I sorted out the cuttings that had not taken root.

When this happened, I realized that it had taken root quite early.
It was still warm for the rest of the year, but it probably didn’t suit the falling temperatures.
I learned that it is best to put in buds early when the heat is still lingering.

And the soil was dry today, so I watered it for the first time in a while.
The original stock is circled in orange.
It looks like it has withered, but the “dead branch” on the left also has roots and cannot be removed.

The sprouts on the right side are more vigorous than the left.
When the weather gets warmer, I feel like the soil isn’t good for some reason, so I’m planning to change it.

Well, for now, I guess success or failure is fair.
It’s okay if the new buds grow, but if they don’t, buy new ones.

So, I hope this will be helpful to someone.
