Water Jasmine Shohin 028 (23/08/2009)
Source: Nursery stock
This is a stock cultivated from seed. After so many years of being bounded to the pot, the roots have thickened and show great characteristics and bends. This is one of the very prominent qualities of a wrightia religiosa. Much work have been done to reveal the true trunk. Most roots were removed as root cuttings for future potential shohin/mame, and the main roots cleaned up. Two main areas have also been semi-pruned as the number of feeder roots left were little, so partially removed the fatter ones and wire tourniqueted it further up to force new feeder roots to regrow. It will take several years to redevelop the current root system. Its exciting to get hands on such stock to work with.

Water Jasmine Shohin 017 (09/08/2009)
Source: Root cuttings
Several small young root cuttings were packed and planted together. Their roots were loosely wired and sort of braided to one another and then wrapped under media covered with aluminium foil. Still experimenting though. I cant tell you how much im inspired by David W. Fukamoto's and Jerry's water jasmine seedlings.

Visit to BMB Albert's Abode
Went over to albert's place to adopt 3 water jasmine stocks. And among these 3, produced several root cuttings from them. Its gonna be challenging as to whether the oldest, weakest one will survive through or not. Will post them up very soon. Lotsa stocks to work now considering how little time i have when i reached home after work, merely 2 hours...
