Swamp Cypress progress

Post by NathanM »

Hey guys,
This is for you, Jake!! This one started as a tiny little starter. Even smaller than the first pic, but that's the oldest pic I can find :/
It looks a bit sad atm, but it's jsut had a heap of roots cut of. Give it a few weeks and it'll be right :D I try and use my N95 as a size guide in most pics.

Couple of months later

A couple more moths later

Add some movement, was hard though

Now. Roots cut off, some fresh soil, cut back and a change of angle :)
