So I've got a bunch of successful cuttings from my bougie (I think it's a pink pixie, the leaves are small and has very few thorns. It hasn't flowered yet so I haven't seen the bracts for myself), and I have been starting to think about what to do with them next year.
As an aside, how much bend could I expect to put into a dead straight trunk that is about one inch or so in diameter? I figure I might have to use a bending clamp or clamps.
- An exposed root cascade style. Will a bougies roots develop enough to support it's own weight? Just a nice twisted mass of rooty goodness with a colour explosion on the end.
- Can the smaller whippier cuttings be used to form a grafted trunk? Will they fuse readily?
- How fast do these guys thicken up otherwise in an appropriately sized grow box? Plant it in good soil and fertilize the heck out of it.
