Like a new mom all over again
This is Richard, aka Dick, named for my late father. #PlantsMakePeopleHappy
It was alone and totally neglected on the closed porch for nearly a year before I got through enough of the grief that I desperately want to save it, instead of just crying when I think about why it's in such bad shape to start. Like a TTC (trying to conceive) with a pregnancy test, I'm digging out the microscope looking for new growth and he's doing it 😭😭😭 if I can save the whole tree no one can deny my witch powers anymore. If not, at least this branch might be able to be it's own 🫠

My experience with these guys was I got it while it was flowering (I didn't know they often die after) and now I'm struggling to keep it alive. A lot of fertilizer and water and light later, she has some new growth and lost all of her leaves except for this new growth. I know she's probably going to die anyway, but I'll fight trying to keep her alive.
@SesameSeeds777 so the (aka) Chinese scholar tree is defo not a Sensitive plant 🥲 and is an actual tree, or at least trying his best 😭
@SesameSeeds777 the REALLY crazy thing is I may have sprouted an actual Sensitive plant the same day I posted about the tree! The foliage is so similar I was wondering if I'd ended up with another Scholar tree 😂
@SesameSeeds777 yeah no it's a steep learning curve BUT! I already know it's basically impervious to neglect 🤣😭
