Hey Leslie,
Thanks for that.
The cut of piece indeed is in only a few inches of soil (If I had to guess, I would say less than 10cm, maybe even 5 (2 inches). However, due to the ring-barnking I have triggered rooting; One small root had appeared on the side. So that is covered by soil. It now sits on my office desk, as that is heated, and my living room is not (yet) except for the fire-place on cold evenings. Tropical plants root better when it is warm. So this morning I tied the branch in place in the dish with thin rope, placed it in the passanger seat, and carefully drove to work. Now I can watch it develop at work. Will just have to take it home once a month or so for wiring, when growth really returns. After rooting I will let it grow out for a few months, and then start shaping. The base is there. Now i just want it to grown a canopy & I will try to stimulate air root development. Pics will follow is something drastic happens.
cheers,
Jelle.
