How many of you have admired some amazing shows Snapdragons (dragon), and hopes that you can keep these plants going indefinitely. Although they failed to obtain sample of light in a living form of the same standard, yet. There are certain things you can do now.

Many people are aware that you can take cuttings of carnations, which are a biennial plant, and grow new plants them whole. But did you know that dragons are biennial, and can also spread a similar method.

Just follow these instructions:

* Take cuttings of plants better heel (see health, vigor and color).

* Gaza by far the weakest of the leaves and flowers and buds.

* Immerse the wounded end in some form of rooting hormone (I'm in the subtropics)

* Stick the cuttings in a pot / tray multiplication favorite mix, (I think that most of the mixtures work well, as the cuts are dragon not too demanding).

* Keep them in a burst of light, but the position is not too hot.

* Maintain the moisture but not too wet

* Do not get too cold. The cooler the slowest time that are at the root and more likely to die from infection or rot setting in

* I use a pot of low height / plate for roots coming out of the database is a good indication that it is time to pot up, without bothering the cuttings.

* Set a good fertilizer weekly during the warmer months, or both in one place cool climate, to be given the strength of that quarter accorded to normal plants. (Otherwise, they will burn the roots May / new and emerging).

* Once you are well established pot until can plant, or even if you can plant directly in the garden.

So the end result is that within 6 to 12 weeks (weather, season and climate), which must have a large supply of Snappy's ready for the next planting season without having to buy one. This is obviously conditioned by the fact that you live in a climate that can support the multiplication of carnations.

Question about work and education?

Well, just finished high school, I'm terrible at math, and OK in other things, but not much. Have to go to a school of high technology. I did some tests run and love is not really one of my results. I want to make something out with much to do with nature. I like working outdoors and I love being in the forest and others. I like things to grow gardens (and others). What do you think are good choices for me as far in education and a career?

Forester? There are degrees in forestry.

Does anyone know how to care for a bonsai outside?

I live in New England, and came with instructions very brief, and I looked online and conflicting instructions. Some say it should be kept out all winter, some say they forgot to put in me in my terrace and it was cold outside and all the leaves had fallen, so I hope I have not kill ya! Oh, it's a grape bonsai outside if it helps. Any advice would be appreciated!

They also live in New England (Boston) and the response is left open and allowed to become dormant. Only give very little water until we have a constant temperature below zero, put it in a warehouse or an area protected from direct sunlight to prevent heat and cold suddenly. no need to sun, fertilize or water at this time. Should have been asleep for the winter. Keep out of time and in the spring and let Momma awakening of nature and bring it back.
