Giving Jasmine a thumbs up sign, Cris walked over the newly fertilized Weigela bushed and pointed his wand at the base of the plant. " Aguamenti," he said the incantation and watched as water slowly trickled out of his wand and immersed into the soil. He continued to test the soil with the fingers of his free hand, to make sure that he wasn't overwatering the plant, and when the soil was sufficiently dampened, he ended the spell.
Then he gently tapped down on the soil to remove all the air bubbles before standing up. " Okay Ms. Weigela, you're free to roam about the pot now," Cris whispered to the plant, giving it a little pat on its leaves.
Giving Jasmine a nod, he walked over to join Ethan. " I'll water this half and you can water this half. That way we'll finish this up twice as fast. We can start right after Jasmine has added the dragon dung fertilizer," Cris smiled encouragingly before giving Jasmine the go ahead nod to proceed fertilizing the Chockeberry bush.[/QUOTE]

Actually the proper way is to first add the fertilizer. then water the plant and then gently tap the soil to remove any air bubbles that may be trapped in the soil, " Cris replied in answer to Ethan's question, recalling what he had learned from his previous Herbology professor back in Durmstrang.
"If you first water and then fertilize, the fertilizer may not properly mix in with the compost. I mean you could use your fingers to mix it up, but you might end up messing with the plant's roots or if you're planting seeds, the water will cause the seeds to float up."
Cris hoped he made sense but more importantly, that he had been correct in his explanation of the process.
Jasmine was so focused on immobilizing the chokeberry bush that she forgot to fertilize it before asking the guys to water it. The thought never crossed her mind until Ethan asked his question. "Sorry guys, you're right. I don't know what I was thinking." Gathering up more dung, Jasmine spread it carefully around the bush. Once she was finished, she apologized again. "Sorry about that. It's all ready for you now."
The Professor came by to answer Ethan's question about the proper order for doing things. Then she announced that they would be moving on to the next part of the lesson. Gathering her things, Jasmine followed the group toward the back of the greenhouse. They would be learning about the Flesh-Eating Fir? Jasmine didn't know what kind of flesh the tree preferred, but it must be unusual based on the way that the question was posed. She would have to think about that one.
