In a place where the light is very bad, do you still want to plant a vine this month? Let's see how this one performs, right?
This one is Princess Margaret, which was purchased online in early February 2021.
After a day of slowing the seedlings at home, they are changed into a one-gallon pot. Since there are only two branches, it is divided into left and right sides to press the top of the branches, looking forward to promoting the shoots as soon as possible.
1 gallon, has been shooting since arriving home for a while
In April, the branches have grown and the shoots have sprouted at the bottom.
Until June to change it into a seven-gallon basin, it was directly from one gallon to seven gallon basin, did not hurt the root, the figure of the convenience.
Careful maintenance, because the branches are not pulled horizontally, the seedlings are also small, do not want it to blossom more, autumn flowers symbolically opened a few flowers on the top, the rest are cut.
7 gallon large basin
Before changing the pot is to plant it in the third floor south balcony in the best lighting position. The soil after changing the pot is the humus soil dug by itself and a little pine scales, and the fertilizer is the most common and self-made fertilizer.
I don't know if it is good resistance, or because I can't get rain, I haven't been sick. If there are flower buds, they will be cut off, mainly to raise seedlings, leave more leaves, and more shoots.
After changing to the 7-gallon basin, due to the limited space of the balcony, I only grievanced it and put it on the north window sill. That is, it only stayed in a well-lit place for four months. When I came to this space, I had it, but the light was pitifully small. Basically, you can only bask in the west for about two hours after 13:30 in the afternoon, and for two months in the winter, you can't get any sun at all.
Here the sun is blocked by the guardrail, and it is blocked by the canopy above, and there is a big tree in front, and the time and intensity of the sun's illumination are really worrying.
Winter shears, lashing and tying made on January 21, 2022, buried with sufficient bottom fertilizer, bone meal, Ao Lu 318S and grass and wood ash. In the evening, the injuries were severe. This is mainly the reason for not controlling the water and cloudy days! The wound flowed for several days, and after more than a month, after watering on February 26, it began to flow again. There were concerns, but nothing was done. I believe that such a large basin, buried in the fat, is not afraid that you can not slow down.
The time came to March 28, and I got up to see that the leaves were hairy and lacked water. Then you have to hurry up and wait for the water and fertilizer, and look at the leaves in the afternoon and you will be in good spirits. This is good once or twice, and the more times it is, more blind buds will be produced.
Because the light is too little, it leads to the blind shoots seen in the picture, which are blind branches and blind buds, only to erase a large number of branches and leaves that cannot be exposed to the sun, leaving bare branches. Of course, the leaves outside the guardrail are still relatively lush, and all are retained.

The picture below was taken on April 14, and it has long been covered with flower buds, and I have not been medicated several times during the period. One is that its resistance is good and it cannot rain, and the other should be that the newly planted environment does not produce more diseases.
This is what it is now, and although it is not full of flowers, it also adds a bright color to the lifeless window sill. After this test, spring and autumn flowering are no problem, summer is mainly seedlings, and flowers are cut.
Outside the parapet you can get rain
The fragrance is not strong, and only when you get closer can you smell a fresh fruity aroma. The direction of the flowers is facing outwards, and I can't appreciate the front of the flowers, which is a little regrettable. The leaves are also facing themselves in the opposite direction, to spray foliar fertilizer for spraying, saving a lot of things, but foliar fat, I don't seem to have sprayed anything.

The north window sill is planted with Princess Margaret, which is really a good choice. I am satisfied with its disease resistance, flower size, re-flowering and shade tolerance, and you can also try planting one.
