Mimosa x CHIMERA #3

timbarin Third set of leaves is open and she's standing up on her own now. Soil's still the same cup, perlite mixed through, stake in beside her so I don't knock her over reaching into the tray. Healthy green all over, no spots, no curl. Her little sister in the square pot is a week behind and doesn't seem bothered. Nothing to do this week but water and stay out of the way.

timbarin Up-potted out of the little purple nursery pot into the fabric bag. She's short and squat, nodes tight, fans out flat and reaching. Even green all over, no spots, no burn. Nothing else needed this week.

timbarin Topped and the whole thing pinned flat with stakes. Every side shoot is standing up on its own now and the canopy already covers most of the soil. Even green all over, nothing to fix. She's taking the training well.

timbarin She's topped and the four mains have taken off sideways, canopy already covering most of the pot. New growth at every tip, colour is even, nothing asking for attention. A couple of leaf tips have gone slightly crispy — not spreading, so I'm leaving it. Watered and left her alone.

timbarin Canopy is flat and wide now, the main stem tied down with plant clips and the side branches all coming up level with each other. Plenty of new growth filling the gaps between the tops. Leaves are dark green, a couple of tips slightly crisped, nothing to act on. Kept her under the net and left her alone this week.

timbarin Oct 4. Im back from couple of days out of country. She look a good.
