Weather was really shitty and I kept the plant inside. But that didn’t stop it from developing quite good. Fungus gnats are gone, thanks to the predatory mites and me keeping the soil completely dry. Only watering I did was due to brining out those mites against gnat larvae. Also added a bit of fertilizer and citric acid.
There was some good growth in height and bushyness. I removed some of the lower small leafs as a first defoliation treatment.
I reduced watering and will continue watering very little until I see first signs of the plant being too dry.
End of this week I began with some LST. Bending the trunk a bit as a base for bending the two top branches later. Let‘s see how it will turn out later.
First 5-fingered leaves are growing out on top! Was waiting for this.
