Not this is not one of the mallsai that have rocks glued on top, it seems like the company had a little bit of a clue as to what they were doing because the soil seems to absorb water very quick, it doesnt just pool up on the top, but it is unfortunantly organic soil so i think thats why its maybe not draining because it is able to hold in more moisture than other free flowing bonsai soils. thanks for the tip though.

it seems to be doing okay but i am just worried about a lot of the leaves curling up and shriveling up, i want to water, but am afraid of overwatering, since everyone has said bougies like it dry.

Could the white stuff on the flower bracts be indication of too little water? they feel very brittle and dry.

I'm not too worried about winter yet, it wont get cold for a while here, id just like it to make it to winter, and then i think i will setup a nice greenhouse space for it, bright light with some humidity, gona be in a new house with lots more room for that kind of thing.

Thanks for all the advice.
