Nan, when I saw hers I went on a mission. I hit every nursery in the area looking with a printed pic of what I was looking for. Nothin. Then, I went to Lows for some rose ferterlizer and was lookin at their little house plants. Her plant wasn't even on my mind, then.......Hey, what is that???? There was only 1 and it didn't look very good, but I got it anyway. Who'd a thunk it?? This was last spring.
Do you know how big the different ones get? Hers is over 3' Tall. And notice how the branches grow. They go kinda out and then up. Mind go out and the leaves pull em down. My bark is dark green and hers is tan. I have no idea how to prune it. Maybe I could get her to give me some cuttings!!
And what do you think about their very pricey potting soil? What are you gonna use? I haven't repotted mine. Their website says not to unless it really rootbound and even then to just use a slightly larger pot.
Here's another shot of hers to show the branches.
