Re: [Delisea] Tibouchina
This is growing in clay so I replaced some with an open bonsai soil. This should reduce stress when I dig it. As an experiment I wired in a small curve on a branch. The wire bit in very quickly. Lots of new shoots have just appeared.

Re: [Delisea] Tibouchina
I am still waiting for some root growth before this is dug up. It will only be then that the potential of this will be evident.
