recovery

Schefflera, on the other hand, is doing much better now.

This is the little one (which I once hoped to prune into a kind of bonsai tree shape) grown from a cutting someone gave me. Last week I repotted it. Moved into a pot that wasn't much deeper, but an inch or so wider. Really I wanted to get a look down in there. When I upended it, found the roots were nice and healthy, but the base of the stem had been buried last time I repotted it. Not by much- just 1/4"- but I made sure to plant it back at the previous depth. It responded well. No more leaf drop, color seems improved too (although that might just be from the humidity treatments I'm giving it as well).
