Hi all! I've been growing various houseplants and a fair number of carnivorous plants for a while and wanted to "branch" (sorry) out. I picked up a little prunus incisa kojo-no-mai after some research and had a getting-started question for anyone with more knowledge than me...figured this board would be a good place to start
I'm primarily concerned about getting this guy the right amount of water....this is an area of personal struggle for me haha. I know the soil should always be moist but well drained, so I'm wondering if I can use a setup like I do with some of my drosera that also have fairly sandy soil and need to stay moist, by keeping its pot (it's shohin style if that matters) in a small tray of water and letting it dry out, then refilling. I saw on another thread that you can water from the bottom but should let the pot sit for ~45 seconds then throw out the excess water. Does one of these approaches sound less risky than the other? Appreciate all thoughts on the matter!
Thanks~
