Hey there guys it's been a while since I've been on Bonsai Nut but I thought I'd give you guys a little update on a plant I've disussed before when I didn't know what to do with it. The link for which can be found here


Unfortunately I don't have any of the pictures for this plant between the time of my first post and now. Wish I still did because it grew a sizable amount in about a year and a half. But this time around I figured I'd track it's progress publicly. So much has happened between then and now, so here it is20241215_140740.jpg20241215_140747.jpg20241215_140752.jpg20241215_140757.jpg

If you couldn't tell already it's missing it's other half, and is surprisingly woody for it's age. During the summer i started to pay attention to this plant again and began wracking my brain for a way to get to look more like a tree(which was hard because of it's growth pattern) I was stumped for days until it was finally reduced to nubs. I wasn't the one who cut it back however, my cat had decided to spare me the frustration and knock it down from where it was outside. The plant was wrecked, and I was surprised the pot didn't Crack more than it did. But things happen, so now that it's winter I'm letting it sit on the back burner and recover. Anyways definitely let me know what you guys think and watch out for this summer!

I’d let that baby grow grow grow, and perhaps keep that lower trunk in check by pruning once in a while.

I think if you let this grow real strong, you can prune back and get many more options + lots of cuttings.
