# OK, this guy’s been through the ringer. Last fall he had mealy bugs…

_Geplaatst door Greenishthumb op 2026-08-26_

OK, this guy’s been through the ringer. Last fall he had mealy bugs and I had to prune aggressively and treat and I seemed to get that under control. Recently, he and my dog had a full on collision and broke one of the main stems. I pruned again and set him up with a plant stake and now he has decided to come back to life! I am counting seven new leaves between the two main stems. Crazy!
