Nightmare on Olive street (Warning, 18+ only thread)

I totally agree with the discussion to chop that ugly mofo in half. That lumpy trunk was just hideous. It sure is taking it’s time to regrow but it’s getting there.

Yeah, I could plant it in a bigger container and fetilise more. But I am trying to keep the internodes short here. Once I have a bit of a structure, I might fuel up the growing and let it shoot a bit.

I think you went wrong in your idea of fixing.

This one was sold today.

The top part has by now rooted enough to be stable and gets to move to a new house this winter, if I can find any takers.

Thx, I used parafilm, which I believe breathes, but stopd large scale evaporation, so that the cut area does not dry out too fast
