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
