Thanks, pip313! So, that branch is normal growth- should I leave it or let it grow?

I agree with Pip, I have rooted many Buddha's Hand cuttings and it roots easily, so it is very likely that it is a rooted cutting.

I would let that branch.

I'm extremely curious as to why you have it in a wire basket lined with paper is it? Please do tell!

Haha, for drainage, of course! Beats the hell out of drilling holes. But seriously, my dad owns a junk yard, and folks are always dragging in things that are great for other purposes. I have five large industrial baskets he saved for me (cheaper than a clay pot). I lined them with landscaping paper to keep the contents inside.

This is both lemons after watering I use a baster to suck all the excess water out of the bags. I'm working on welding trays to use as drip pans, but the weather and holidays have kept me inside these last few weeks.

My trees seem to love them, they've flourished this past summer and I am curious to see how they do this winter. I've had a problem with WLD in the past, but so far I haven't lost a leaf and they've been inside since October.

Hip-HIP-Ho ray for junk. 90% of my growing equipment is made from discarded junk.

I could talk junk all day, Steve. These baskets are heavy, have handles, and worked great at holding blankets before they were plant pots. After the plants outgrow them, they'll become something else useful around the house. The lamp I use over a few of my larger succulents came from the junk, too- it's an old cast iron factory reel light. It's perfect to hang over my plants, and I can roll it up when not in use during the summer.

Pretty cool use of them. I bet the holes are good for aerating the roots. I love repurposing as well.
