chj93 Posted August 11, 2013 Report Share Posted August 11, 2013 I have several large Sarracenia clumps which I would like to divide in the spring. This made me think - would a division from one of these mature plants be known as a 'mature division', because despite the division being smaller than the original plant, dividing wouldn't have altered it's age? Or, would a division from a large plant become only a semi-mature division, as it would have to grow back to the size of the plant it was originally split from? Thanks.

Tuberousdrosera Posted August 11, 2013 Report Share Posted August 11, 2013 To me a mature plant is a plant of flowering size. So each flowering size crown is a mature plant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoLongFairWell Posted August 11, 2013 Report Share Posted August 11, 2013 What he said basically. I prefer to thing of small medium and large in terms of how far off flowering they are. Some growers use terms such as FS (flowering size) FS -1 (1 year off flowering) FS-2 (2 years off, etc) although that does depend on growing conditions it's still a good way to gauge size.

jimfoxy Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 To me a mature plant is a plant of flowering size. So each flowering size crown is a mature plant A problem arises when you separate a small crown/division which happens to have produced a flower (when it was attached) from a much bigger rhizome. The division is not 'of flowering size' but has a flower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexis Posted August 31, 2013 Report Share Posted August 31, 2013 I just stick to size. XS, S, M, L, XL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
