As I often do, I contacted those three folks who purchased the small 'Alii' ficus trees last fall and asked how their plants were doing. One of those, when asking about the 'Alii', said she had managed to "kill" every single houseplant she had ever tried to grow and had about given up on ever having a plant survive in her home. I told her to try one more time and assured her that she would be successful with the 'Alii'. Anyway, I have heard back from two of the three and they both said that their plants were growing well, putting on new growth, and never lost any leaves, not even when they received the plants last October. One even sent me a picture of her 'Alii'.
