 Sept 19 - After potting |
Reason : Scale insect infestation, branch die backs, loss of leaves after spraying neem oil mixed with little soap in water made this plant very high maintenance, I was ignorant in handling them and then lost interest too. So, pests & me killed a good specimen that was at least a few years old. I am going to take a break from this species till I learn to control pests safely & figure out branch die backs.
