I put my trees on a shelf with all the other school office plants, so I have a more reliable water-er. I came to check on them this weekend and even saw new growth 15BCED22-039B-4F4F-B93C-6EE053B89F9F.jpeg

So the coconut cracked, maybe I shoulda put a spekboom in it, or something that handles drought better.
Anyways, some growth has happened, when do I decandle? Do i decandle at all? Is it supposed to look messy like this?

You decandle roughly 100 days before your average first freeze. The more mild your climate the later it can be when you decandle. In Chicago area, we decandle no later than beginning to middle of June. In parts of California and Texas they can wait until late July, beginning of August. In a climate with no sharp period of below freezing weather, you might be able to decandle 3 times a year.

You can buy small rubber footies in the bumper/foot pad/glides section of a hardware store and glue three on at an angle to keep the feet flat with dabs of fast-setting epoxy Set all three bumpers on a flat surface in position, put dabs of epoxy off centered and inboard sides where the orb will touch all three dabs and after that has set up hard, fill in for radius appearance and paint to match the brown feet. Camouflage it all by sifting fine dirt to sprinkle on the paint when wet. Or, find three small rocks with angled sides.

Ming Arailia is a good candidate to make a low-bunching-sideways tumbling over the sides jungle...
