The big one is in need of a stake soon and now 2 feet high. the other smaller two which lost their tops are looking very well and today re-potted up to a medium size pot as a 3 pot scenario. With a Neem oil Spray this evening. to make sure to keep away 'black aphids' which seem to be appearing of late. |
