Cacao Tree Update

Nearly three weeks since this was brought indoors and pruned and
not wasting taking advantage to it's environment with a new show
of growth of leaves.


Obviously a lot more brighter and an unnatural ideal stillness that an
indoors can present. Not to mention a dryness that it is unaccustomed to
that an occasional misting of water can help facilitate.

Some of the leaves are tattered from being out in the elements and some
of the newer leaves show some deficiencies, not sure if this is the time
and place to remedy, knowing that it's tendencies towards root rot whether
pot bound which gives me pause on giving it the water it craves.



These tissue thin and salmon colored leaves are just one of many rewards
that make this Constant Gardener joy.

I was just reflecting back on how this specimen has been pest free these
fast approaching three years.
