Plant History/Log:
- He and his fellows were my very first attempt at intentional leaf propagation (i had some volunteer leaf props but never done it directly myself)
- Grew them for my partner at the time and watched them every step of the way
- Started in a group prop pot, then moved the three i selected to small painted TCs which they lived in until being bumped to larger plastic pots in July
- Lived outside through the summers and grew fairly quickly
- Never had the chance to get him to my ex but held out hope until I eventually sold the other two, almost sold this one
- Kept the straightest and happiest looking of his brothers
- Still could not get myself to get rid of this baby though he was quickly gaining on his parent
- Bumped him up to a small green planter and pruned the babies from his stem
- Spring 2019 moved him to a large glazed pot with gritty mix
- September 2019 came indoors to east window
