I like the outcome, this tree has really come along! I abandoned my fusion project after cooking it a little long in the sun outside. I'm not mad though, I learned a lot from doing it. And I'm low-key relieved to have one less plant to care for over winter. I have about 30 house plants I'm looking to rehome this summer 😅 I just can't throw away cuttings, it feels like throwing away an opportunity.
Bummer about the fusion! But I totally get it. When I moved a few months ago it became painfully obvious that I need to lose some trees. That, and stop saving all the cuttings which I've sort of done, but it's pretty hard for me to do to.
Agreed mostly, but there is at least one kind of spider that webs up the leaves and branches so bad they die off. I need to do a little research on the subject.
This tree is developing nicely. I'm with @jameswalker3416 - I always leave spiders on my trees unless the webs get overly unsightly; I figure they are only going to eat insects that might want to eat my trees. But yeah, spider mites are a different story, don't want to leave those alone.
holy shit this thing is beautiful

I put spiders on my trees. They are like natural pesticide. I like putting house spiders on them.

Yeah, I need to learn which ones are good and which ones aren't.
