So I tried a "special" cultivar a few years ago and killed it within a year, after some discussion of it here, and further research i decided to try one again... and got this recently at a show... and coincidentally it fit perfectly in a mame bonsai pot i've had for years laying around... actually i have two of the same pot, and had i known it would have fit this perfectly, would have gotten a second but oh well... lol
it's one of the smallest varieties from what I read and of the faster growing varieties of the smaller ones according to vendor, so hopefully it'll do well. the last variety i got was tamakongo and it grew painfully slow...
There's a spike growth nestled in one of the fans, so hoping things go well this year...
I'll have it on my balcony where it'll get morning sun and even some late afternoon sun, sheltered just a bit by other plants. And considering watering was my main problem last time, I'm going to submerge the whole thing then let dry for some days before I water again... and very little water in fall/winter when it'll get to upper 30's.
main concern is humidity can be in the 30's and less for much of the year, and it's expected to be one of the hottest summers, so expecting 100 degree weather days in late summer and early fall...
Any tips, thoughts would be appreciated!
