Into the Sun

For the past couple of days, my Japanese Maple seedlings, or Acer palmatum seedlings, have been hidden from the sun in an area protected by bushes, trees, and other large plants. We left the seedlings in the shade because seedlings go through a lot of stress in their roots when they are being moved into pots. This is because the roots become exposed, and also might have ripped while being transferred into pots. These seedlings may wilt if we put them in the sun straight after they are transferred to pots. So for the past five days, my Japanese Maples have been in the safety of the shade. Now that the roots are coming back to normal and there are no big wilting problems, we have now moved the pots into the sun, allowing the Maple Trees to collect sunlight. With luck, the plants will grow quicker now, and not wilt. Along with the movement of the seedlings, there is also news about the newly potted chives. After three days of being potted, the chives have started to have new growths. This is good news! Maybe we will have chives for later on in the year!
