Part of it broke in the move and repotted it with some root hormone and it has also taken root and flourished. Today I had to trim ( Read more... )

I've got a couple Oriental Moon inquiries here, concerning a sun-colored Oriental Moon.

How can I get it to pup? (The term escapes me right now.) My Strawberry Moon does pups fairly often, but my Gold Moon won't. Is it just a genetic thing? Reds/Pinks are more likely to pup than Golds?

There's a small black spot on my Gold. It doesn't seem to be bugs ( Read more... )
