Message: [QUOTE="Chuck, post: 172104, member: 944"] That is what I am trying to say, they are not replacing defunct roots. It is basically adding to them in a different place. There are no top roots early on. If you have a plant 16 inches tall with a very small diameter stem what are you to do to save the plant. It would be difficult to stake it up like a sapling tree and maintain this. How does anyone know if the bottom roots keep growing albeit slowly or stop at a certain point and become defunct? If it weren't for the bottom roots growing there wouldn't be any top roots at all. [/QUOTE]
