Man, I love that tree.Well 5 years is my limit for the same pot. So a few more weeks and it’s getting a new pair of shoes.

Thanks Carol, it’s definitely one of my favorites and low maintenance.Man, I love that tree.
Is there a trick to them? I've had a couple and lost them both. They were in decent soil, watered carefully, I have no idea what I did wrong.Thanks Carol, it’s definitely one of my favorites and low maintenance.
Mine is in APL and since they are a bit of a water hound it gets watered at least once a day.... even in winter. It gets one major cutback per year in mid-March. Winter temperatures 55-65 in a southeast window although it might like warmer nights. It drops 50-60 percent of its leaves when I bring it in the fall, when the temps are consistently mid-40s. It’s very, very shaggy and leggy now but still flowering. Summer is full sun and it likes heat....more heat (80s to low 90s) more flowers. Only nips and tucks to keep the silhouette. I do cut old flowers off to keep it tidied up. Photo is winter storage.Is there a trick to them? I've had a couple and lost them both.

Read it somewhere. I thought about the kanuma but its been in a similar mix for a number of years and seemed to do okay. If it ain't broke.......Beautiful tree mate. You're doing very well by it. How do you know it's an acid loving plant...i've been wondering about that to...
Some kanuma in the mix will be good for it then.
Mine too.Always one of my favorites.
