It's easy for neos to recover from this root loss though.

interesting. ive reduced the watering down so it stays dry for a good 2 or 3 days before i water again..less water? its growing great so i feel bad stopping it, but if its what it needs..ill also move it back into the window where its cooler instead of getting more light in the middle of the bench.

What can I do? I think the little guy is just a rebel. It isn't blooming size, yet, so I am not going to worry.

Not eternal rest?

LOL...

I have a baby Neo though with only 3 roots no longer than 1 or 2 inches both. Should I still encourage the rest? I've been watering everyday since its bare root and the leaves are a bit leathery.

What is the variety of the neo?

I'll have to look it back up. It was given to me earlier this year by a member here.
