dnrevel | On July 23, 2022 | Plant Ended (Removed, Died, Discarded, etc) Compared to my other plants, got bored with the one. Didn't want to fiddle with it (hah) compared to growing a real, fruiting fig that I am planting in its place. |
dnrevel | On October 17, 2021 | Obtained plant Bought at an end of season sale. There is new growth on the plant. Will repot it, bring it in for the winter, and will give it the sunniest spot I can find to overwinter, and will mist it. |
