Have I made the right choice, time will tell. Used hormone powder around cuts, sealed wounds, drenched in Seasol, Spagnum Moss in Seasol for moisture. :fc:

Keep in a humid place.
Keep moist not wet.
Seasol once a week.
I'd consider a less sunny spot.
I reckon you'll be fine..

.......Sorry to say if not (and it dies) you can find and buy another one pretty cheaply anyway!

Keep us posted!
One of the fabulous things about growing bonsai is as you get old and decrepit your trees get old and beautiful
