Have cut this back a couple of times since last post.

Thus week I decided to pot it. I probably should've put it in a big tub or something but I had this plastic bonsai pot laying around so thought I'd chuck it in that albeit maybe a little small...

Any advice on what to do now? I'm thinking just water and fertilise and let It go in its own the rest if this growing season.

Also, tips on fattening the bottom of the trunk...

This was going awesome! Bur I was away those few hot days over Xmas amd it missed watering...

I lost acute of smaller plants and even some on the garden from the heat.

Now it's looking very bad but hasn't dried to a crisp. Have been using seasol since I got home to try and save it since I've grown every branch on this thing only this summer!

Hang in with it, theses are pretty tough so there is a hope it will shoot back in the next few weeks.

If the leaves aren't crispy there is a good chance it will recover. Even if the leaves are crispy it may shoot from the trunk! Fingers crossed for you!
