Lin: I didn't checked that Confederate can reach/grow considerably higher than Star. So maybe choosing star is on the safe/comfortable side, yet I was kind leaning to the flower shape of confed though. Just wonder if there is significant difference in their fragrance (I can't id the one in my memory, but most likely it was confed covering a good big section of a tall fence)?
Cinta: How thankful to receive your advice that came from your actual experience/handling on the plant.
1. Confirmed my previous mistake/false idea: the bigger, the better. I got to choose from in a big nursery for some boston ferns on sale ($10 for a 10" hanging pot). I picked two largest ones there! and you know afterward ...
2. checked
3. How small/young is a "smaller" plant? Is 1 gal pot considered small?
4. Ok, no cacti mix but good potting soil. (I read that the soil need be of good drainage and kept moist, yet not saggy. How difficult to maintain that!)
Confirmed, I'll not repot for a month. But how big the new pot I need? (assuming get 1-gal pot plant) I will decide how big/tall the trellis (or bamboo) I need after that (by your guideline).
Thanks
