A glimpse into my garage

@Mongobongo
I was following a pattern from this excellent post which BTW was how I found OverGrow.com. Bonsai Mums by Oldtimer1

The recent ColombianGoldxPanamaRed downpotting didn’t take. I frankly didn’t expect it to. The herm had a life of torment and neglect. Spent August and some of September in the middle of my GF’s study 15 feet under a 3’x3’ skylight with another window near. Water waiters and no augmented light, no schedule. I visited two or three times a week. We were also away 3 times in August. 7 to 10 days each time. Their lower branches had already died off before the cut so there was little green to sustain life.

The first downpotted CGxPR, has settled in well. A bonsai mother, source of cuttings. One happened by accident two days ago, you can see it hanging on her side.
I will have two more chances. One today if the GSCxOX shows signs of recovering from the shock of my take down and the light change. After a life in the sun, she is being asked to reveg under LED SILs.
