WOW! I didn't think they were that hardy!
I've always treated mine as if it they were fragile little babies,
I'm always so afraid I'm going to kill them somehow!
Well those little imps....they had me fooled! Didn't they?.....Well no more!
I should have known better though!
Mine survived, even though I had 3 of them crammed into a 10" hanging pot (That was meant to be a temporary fix) for several years. I forgot they were even there, I had other pots all around it and they got water only because I
would spray off my deck in the summer, and it drained off into their pot.
They were sitting, on blacktop, at the base of my east facing deck, year in and year out. hot summers to freezing winters, with hardly any soil left in the pot!
And I only lost one of them, when I finally remembered that they were there, and checked to see if there was any life in them one spring, and I found that they were just full of buds ready to pop! Well 2 of them were!
This was when I was first starting to do bonsai and was potting everything I came across! LOL about 4 years ago now.
I potted the 2 survivors up in bonsai pots, and they are doing great. Go figger!
