Wiring

The bigger plant I had growing in the larger pot got the axe last night and joined my bonchi experiment. It seemed like the stem wasn't getting any stronger and the plant just kept hogging all the space without producing any crop since there's so little light. I finally tried some wiring with the aim of getting the brach to bend down a little and to fill the larger gap "behind" the plant. I chose 0.6mm copper wire which is a little tough to form but holds it nicely when you get it done. 0.4mm may shape better but I'm afraid it would be too weak to hold the branch in place.

I find naming plants to be a silly thing but for future reference I shall call them Salt & Pepper based on the color of their pots.
