I live in a Miami condo and grow this on my balcony. I am growing it as a large bonsai. In about a year it has grown from 8 inches tall to four feet with many branches. It has no problem with pruning and in its second spring, it is beginning to form aerial roots. Couldn't be more pleased.
Got this in February, 2022. Placed it on my balcony in Miami, with full and brutal afternoon sun. As of December, 2022 it is 4 feet tall and very branched. A few tiny aerial roots are just starting. I plant to keep it at about this size and train it as a largish bonsai.
I am happy that Logees offers this plant, as it is difficult to find locally. I was hoping for a slightly larger plant than what I received. I received one cutting with perhaps about a 4mm diameter stem about 6 inches tall. It is in a 4 inch pot that looks like it won't outgrow for quite some time, so I have not repotted it. I live in the subtropics where the non-variegated variety of this is grown as hedges in commercial parking lots. I have this on a table outside in my shade house (it's very hot and very bright this time of year so a small cutting needs protection). I was hoping it would grow faster out there. It has put out a few new leaves but does not seem to be growing very fast- perhaps since it is such a small cutting. For the price, and the size of the cutting, I would have expected at least two cuttings to be in the pot. But I do appreciate that Logees offers such a variety and they come well-rooted (in my experience so far).
Bought this plant in 2018. It.s now 5 ft tall. Beautiful varigated colors
This is one of my favorite plants. I love how the chartreuse leaves seem to glow in the sunlight. The plant has a really beautiful form.
