Re: Dwarf Orinoco Pre Flag
Awesome!!!! Can basjoo be stored the same way? And what exactly did you do? Was it just garbage bags around roots, no water or light all winter?

Re: Repotting
I personally wouldnt. Reason being it's easy to over water a plant in winter when it is in a large pot. The smaller the pot the better the drainage and the quicker it dries. I had a very bad...

Re: Grow light recommendations?
