Growing notes:
Compot divided very cleanly. Three big pots, seven medium, and six small. One of the small pots has three decent sized runts together, not tiny. Soaked and rinsed in physan 20 while dividing. Then coated roots in cinnamon and potted up. The babies got a little spag on their roots but the medium and large pots went straight into rock - "Soil Protector", small Stalite pieces. Then they all got a misting with Subdue.
2013 inventory - 13 plants. Some of these got black rot and died, some I managed to rescue.
Lawrenceana likes warmer nights (Chadwick says 65 degrees) so hmm....
2015 - 10 plants
Purchase notes:
Compot. Huge plants. This is an orange and a lavender. God only know what they will look like.
