Sixth week (late May) : Plants are about 35-40 cm tall, have 5-6 layers of leaves and look healthy. But they stretch a lot to the light and it's starting to get cramped in the pots. Time to put Ladies into solid ground. The watering/nutrient schedule remained the same, except that instead of one glass of solution per plant, they were now getting two. At the turn of May and June there were violent storms, rains and hailstorms. As a result, one plant died - the hurricane broke the tip of the pine, which fell centrally on the plant and simply crushed it. Another was eaten whole by snails (in just one night) - leaving only the main trunk. I secured the rest of the plants by scattering small pieces of broken glass around each one. I also had a lot of stress because of a mole who loved my patch and constantly undermined it, completely knocking over one plant. Fortunately, i was able to save her. But again i had to turn to the cat for help ... and again it worked. Also, during transplantation, i gave one seedling as a gift to a friend. And so i was left with fifteen plants. Twelfth Week (mid-July) : The first signs of flowering - the plants are 1 meter high, they already have a dozen or so side branches (quite long) and start to look like a classic Christmas tree. Some of them are showing their first 'hair'. Not all at once - first one, a few days later another, then a few days later several more, until in the fifteenth week all the plants were abundantly 'hairy'. End of vegetation phase.
