These videos provide a good example of how rough you can be with certain plants without them becoming extremely stressed or dying. Most videos that you see online treat roots as though they're incredibly delicate and the smallest amount of damage will kill the plant.

Density. Vigorous plants and slow growing trees are the most finiky. If you re-potted your tomatoe every two weeks as it got bigger and bigger, as opposed to just planting it in the ground, it would end up much smaller. Tubers and fast growing trees are roughly the least. It's about how much starch storage is done by the stem and roots. Think about bulb tulips that take over everything, or potatoes. However, that is only a general rule. Climate zone and growth speed play their part. Obviously, domesticated species are going to need nuanced care, such as fruit trees and other unnatural species. I'm imagining slow growing Japanese maples. Having all of that said, if you do not harm the parts of the root that keep the divisions going, everything should be fine. Having a working knowledge of how and where that happens on any specific variety can be gained by simply growing it and observing the roots over time. If, however, you wanted to understand more deeply, read some plant biology. It gets pretty intense pretty quickly though...
@K-Fed3 жыл бұрын
@@Robert_McGarry_Poems That's good information for the less experienced gardeners browsing these comments. I'd also like to add that people should take into account whether they're transplanting determinate or indeterminate plants. Determinate plants do a lot better if they're planted directly into their permanent homes. Indeterminate ones are less fussy and can typically take 2-3 transplants without issue.

Hey peter i couldnt wait for u to do a video on this type of tree! I bought a satsuki and this is exactly what u get from our online stores. I was laughing when u said u had a hard time chosing what to cut because i fell into the same place. Its very hard to decide what to remove because there isnt a central leader on most of these azalea type trees. I just stood by a broom style shape but i do have one imported from japan and it has a central leader and is a great tree. Great video!

@Robert_McGarry_Poems3 жыл бұрын
It's about what you like. If you want that compact moss, scrap it from wherever you can find it. Gather a good amount of it over time. Blend it up and spread it out over any surface that moss already grows on. Find some old fence boards and lay them on a tarp, spread it on that... Wait a year, or longer... Unless you want to do that every year, only harvest enough to do what you need. It will grow back every year. Place this in a space that is already prone to moss.
