An ambitious project for me. It was a lot of fun to figure out. I'm hopeful that it'll grow in and cling to the rock in the future. Getting rid of that wire would be nice.
Once it puts out some growth and shows that it's established, I'll do some semi hard pruning to refine the shape a bit.
The pot is one I formed by hand with a mix of portland cement and perlite dust.
I would love to see those pics!
Sorry for the delay and thanks for your patience! I'm learning that I need to both better organize my photos and find an alternative to imgur for creating/posting albums.
Here's an album of pictures from a little over a year of growth.
Prior to these pictures it wasn't much to speak of, just a little cutting in some water or a start in a 4" pot. When they're that small/young, I do my best to just let them explode with growth prior to poking at them with my ideas and torture.
Again, I appreciate your patience as I get my stuff together! I'm happy to touch on any points with this project or others. Thanks for the interest, this has been a fun project.
