I have been away for the last week had a friend come over and turn her for me should be home in a day or two feb 10 2021 . it is cold this week temps are way down .
Feb 12 2021 home De leafed and LST . I used 2 plastic sticks , bamboo anything works . I use a leather hole punch to punch holes in my cloth pots . I use pipe cleaners as tie downs . as you can see I made an off X for the longer lower branches and just tied them down with pipe cleaners to the plastic sticks . the top two I just used pipe cleaners pulling them over to keep a nice even space between my 6 branches . I removed all leaf's that cover the inner part of the plant to allow light to inner nodes and some of the old large fan leaf's but not all . I noticed that the plant is starting to grow branch sets in threes just like real Chemo used to think this might be a special plant . so on the ones I bent over is two nodes up and one down . instead of two fan leaves I had three and three nodes at the same points . really cold snap here temps have been down to about 60-65 F Humidity way down due to this to 55% trying to keep a stable temperature but with -C temperatures I can not stuff is growing a bit slow this week .
