My class was conducted by Lisa Short on Plant Propagation Unit in the morning. We work out in nursery and as well as on the blogs.  In the morning section monitored on the seedlings such as Digitalis summer king which is healthy and root growing gently but plants are dense and to big in smaller pots. Sophora tetraptera seedlings are still quite slow but there are more growth. Juniper media blaauw plant was healthy but growth is still slow. Digital summer king seedlings  showing good growth plant grow more healthier. Sweet pea - cupid drawrf (Lathyrus cupid) seedlings as good growth and looks healthy and more leaves shoots. Clianthus puniceus seedlings are doing good and healthy. Veronica topiaria was healthy and no traces of wilting. Veronica "Emerald Green" hardwood cutting are healthier and no wilt are traces of pest and diseases. Thymus vulgaris cutting was still healthy and has no sign of wilting. All plants are free from any pest and diseases. 

Once after monitoring the plants I shifted Dianthus confetti  seedlings to bigger tubes because the plant to fast more traces of leaves. Pricked out from smaller tubes to potting in bigger tubes approximately 20 tubes. Lupin gallery mix was healthy and shifted to 25 bigger tubes which has good roots and plant doing good.
