Thanks for the bump...

I successfully saved my p-stem from one of my basjoos with just 2 and a half bags of cypress mulch piled up on top of it after i cut it down to about 16". Then i stuck the pot it came in on top of the pile to help keep it dry. I saved one and lost one so i guess im only at 50% on saving the p-stems but its pups made it so i guess that counts...

I think im going to try to overwinter my Thai Black outside if i can save a pup off of it...
