I was guessing that if you had trouble with anything it would be more like a Colorado blue spruce.
Too daarrnnn wet here! I have to keep them in small pots if out in the open so that however it rains only a certain amount of water will be retained. Anything more, boooommmm! Only the toughest which acclimatize will survive and yet sometimes, they give up the ghost too. When I germinate the sds, (and I do it during the hottest time) and towards the sprouting time if it rains, most of the time they go dud! I have tried 1,000+ A atenuata sds and nothing came up cos it went rainy suddenly for many days. After the big tsunami here, the weather has gone bonkers totally. I was just on the line with my Bkk pal and he told me it's raining there now even though it's the hottest time of the year. I can't go looking for plants now cos every evening it rains till it floods even in the city. That's my problem! Ha!

Btw Bob, I just got my Bkk pal to give me another 7 pups of the Ae Ae with more to come! Happy...Happy... Darn idiot has 15 matured plants. Actually I ransomed him cos he wants all my Variegated Dracaena elliptica cuttings.
