Default Re: Transplanting a Basjoo pup

I don't cut off anything that's green.

When it comes to drooping, I agree with Carolina. At the most my newly planted pups get filtered sun. I would keep it warm and when you see new growth start to increase the amount of water.

I have actually used a misting nozzle to lightly dampen sand about 1/2in deep on top of pots. A few hours later the area right above the roots would be dry, and the rest of the sand would still be wet. This helped me determine how much water each plant was using. Time consuming? yes, but it was kinda neat to "see them drink". The slightly moist method is probably the easiest though.
