Thanks for sharing your experience Petra. This is a good reminder for everyone!

I repotted a few little twisted Casuarina in late August and most didn't skip a beat. One turned brown and and has looked dead ever since. I have kept watering it like the others and just yesterday I noticed some green buds :tu:

DON'T GIVE UP HOPE WITH A NATIVE :tu:

Regards,
Steven

Thanks for sharing. I shall be holding onto several of my collected cas's for a while longer than I would have otherwise, see if they live.

I really love the age and shape that are being shown on such a miniscule trunk.
Cheers,
Pat

What a pitty, it had real potential :cry: these things do happen though and I am sure you will have better results with the next one ;)
Cheers, Dario.
