2022 June 13: I have one planting of 2 plants set out,
and 2 plants in pots inside. August 20: All surviving.
2020 ~March 20: I repotted the remaing live plant and put a thick piece of broken off root in water. 29: Now it has many smaller rootlets, and I planted it in a tall styrofoam cup.
I also cut the parent plant back and put 3 pieces of stalk and the top leafy section in water. April 4: I put the top leafy section in vermiculite in a perforated styrofoam cup. June 10: I found roots on the top section and put it into a pot of soil.
About a week ago I found a few roots on one section of stalk and planted it in soil.
One other section of stalk has one short root so I left it in water, and I discarded the other as I have enough now.
~2019 December 31: 2 of the trees appear to have died but the surviving one looks healthy.
~2018
They still looked sickly, but I continued to give them minimal care.
~2017
I found a discarded pot with 3 of these trees in it.
They looked sick, but I brought them home and left them outside with minimal care all summer.
I brought it in for the winter.
