Marica -- as a newbie owner of a couple of Ken's plants, I'm now trying to figure out what to do with them... what do you mean by "hang them up for a while to soften them" ??
Also, do you think I can prune them back a bit now, to get more branching? Or do I need to wait until spring? My plants will be in a south-facing window (or possibly under my grow lights), in a room that stays around 60F during the winter.
And, another also... when I potted the plants I didn't see anything like those nice big roots in Ken's photo... just kind of a root mass ball. ??
I do really love the gnarly, odd-shaped plants (but, at this point I'll be pretty happy to just keep the plants alive
)
