Looks good, but why is it in the house this time of year ? For best growth you want it out in full sun.

I agree but it hasn't been too sunny the past couple days. Mostly clouds and rain. I keep it inside on days where there is no sun. I baby this tree. I know people are against that but this is my only hobby right now and I am new to it, so I am exploring and trying to make this tree the best it can be.

It still gets way more light on a cloudy day outside than it will inside & rain is good for it.

I also really enjoy the health benefits from the increase oxygen and decreased carbon dioxide in my room. Cool

I agree with Laaz, get that sucker out side. You will get the best and fastest growth this way, not to mention fruit production. baby it like you are doing in the fall/winter/early spring, that's where it will pay off most.

A little cold doesn't hurt your plants either... Where I live temperatures are too low for the time of the year for weeks now, with night temperatures approaching freezing at ground level sometimes. Yet, my plants are doing better now than when they were inside in the light room!

Thanks guys! I took your words for it and put her outside today. There happened to be plenty of sun. The next few days are supposed to be full sun, so I can't wait for the growth!

Cool

Hey Laaz, I really like that buddah hand tree (not sure of the exact name) How does that fruit taste/ what does it look like on the inside?

Buddhas hand has nothing to eat, the most you could use it for is zest.
