Drgreen Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 As the topic says I have some rivea that i have struck off indoors under lights. This is the begining of my garden so I dont have much if any expirence and was wondering if I could get some tips on how to reduce the stress of the move out doors??..They are tinny at the moment (about 10-15cm) but it will be a couple of months till they make the move.Any ideas or tips would be great.Thanks all drG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
planthelper Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 once you plant them out, they might get sunburn and/or a bit limp for a while, because they never experienced wind or strong sun...if possible put a fan into your grow area, once in a while to make the tissue strong, or be extra careful, when you choose to plant them out. extra careful means, get the plants slowly adjusted.but even if you don't harden out the plants, before planting out, they most likely will survive, and form new tougher shoots from than one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drgreen Posted July 14, 2013 Author Share Posted July 14, 2013 Awesome stuff mate cheers!!I didnt think there would be much of a problem, they seem like a very strong plant. Ill drop a little fan in there tomorrow to give them a bit more strength Thought id better ask the question before risking death lolCheers drG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoOnThen Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 Definitely wait until the weather warms up and I wouldn't put it where it will get full summer sun ( in my climate ) if its going to stay in a pot as they suffer if they dry for to long. if you are going to plant it in the ground I would find a nice protected spot that gets plenty of winter sun.Two things that killed mine were exposed position in winter with little sun and full sun in summer.CheersGot 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
