Juniper roots/repotting a layer
howdy
I was asked the other day what colour juniper roots are. i repotted one today and took some pics along the way. I didnt get a b4 photo as i wasnt planning on repotting it but i took off so much foliage that i thought id better!! no time like the present and all. This juniper was a layer and i have the bottom section as well. The roots didnt form the whole way around the trunk and so there is a gap (the back!). this juniper took almost 12 months to layer and has been seperated for a few years growing in a styrafoam box. ...and b4 anyone goes on about the gloves im wearing (ha ha) i prefer not to get dirt under my fingernails if i can help it!!! and it keeps my hands warm (awwww).... For some reason known NOT to me!!! i left the spag moss on the layer when i potted it. I never do that, maybe since it took so long to take root i was worried about breaking them, i dont know. Anyway it was painful to get the mossout. So here goes |

the gap in the roots, which was an easy way to choose the back
