"Tip" appreciated. This little guy/gal whatever sat on the semi-protected porch most of the winter and I fed it a pity drink here and there as it missed a lot of what the ground grown plants get. Obviously attention to temperature was observed. I think the one season increase is already obvious, the foliage will prove me right or wrong.
I thought I would have been better off to transplant to the garden but as per my usual it became an experiment. I do lose plants but far fewer than those that survive. On a do-over I wouldn't go the same route and again I appreciate the insight. FWIW this one is potted in mostly dirt (garden soil) with just enough potting soil to break mud factor. I just tried to replicate the soil it was purchased in. I really didn't expect a return, at all. I'll chalk it up to luck more than method.
