Weekly Update
Planet of the Grapes continued to set the pace for the garden this week, showing rapid and consistent growth in both height and canopy spread. New leaves expanded quickly.
Water management evolved as the root system became established. Irrigation transitioned to pH-adjusted water, and the plant received its first bottom watering by sitting in approximately two inches of water for a 30-minute soak. This ensured the entire root zone was evenly saturated while encouraging continued root expansion throughout the fabric pot.
A dilute neem solution was also applied to the soil surface as a preventative treatment after a small number of fungus gnats were observed.
By week’s end, the plant displayed healthy color, broad leaf development, and continued vigorous growth. Its combination of compact structure, rapid canopy expansion, and strong overall vigor is hopefully an early sign for the future development of this plant.
