Hows the little guy doing? Ok? Or would you recommend doing something else?

It's actually doing fine, one of its buds blasted but the other opened up. It's still blooming and happy, despite the fact that I moved and then ended up giving all my 'chids too much light (ooops!). I will lose his bottom leaves from the sun, but otherwise he's just peachy. I have been fertilizing when I water just like my other ones and he's really happy.

Looks like its doing great....

What about just leaving it alone?......gasp!
Monitor for overwatering and I'll bet it will do great

Good luck

I love minis!! These guys in my opinion are tougher then there larger counterparts! I have several mounted on driftwood.. they look awesome that way too.. others are in 80%bark/20% spag.. not a fan of spag.. I always repot....sippy cups are a tougher plastic..just punch alot of drainage holes and go.. 5 for $1.00 at the Dollar Tree.. .. That is a pretty baby! I would have took it home too!
