Growing reeds has become a bit like "Day of the Triffids" as the growth rate per day has really ramped up and one of Nath's invaders has begun to overtake the reeds in growth!
We decided to re-pot AGAIN this afternoon as we are going away for a week and didn't want there to be any chance of them becoming pot bound. As it was, it was more tricky getting them out of their current pots this time.
Nath's reeds now stand at 62cm tall which means they've grown about 2cm per day since last week and as you can see they are now almost waist height. The invader has developed these thick white roots and when we were at the park earlier in the week we spotted this plant below and we are convinced it's a match as they both have a very similar bud appearing...it's exciting to see what it's going to look like!
Nath's reeds have started to block out the light in my bedroom so we picked a sunny area of the garden for them to stay outside. We have a friend staying in our house while we are on holiday and one of her jobs will be watering the reeds!
