Random microdwarf observation

[jmsieglaff]

I have 3 microdwarfs and 1 microdwarfXdwarf F1 in small pots. They stay by the south facing patio door because it’s too cold to take them outside full time but I am aggressive in taking them outside along the south wall of the house on the deck, basically if it’s 40F or more they are out if it is sunny. I’ve done this to a microdwarf I’ve been selecting for a while, which is about stable, I’m calling it Red Raindrops as it’s a red multiflora micro. It always has done fine with this treatment. I also have Florida Petite and aforementioned F1. Those all handle this treatment fine as well. That leaves Orange Pinocchio, which I’ve grown before but never with this treatment. It is a wimp, leaves get all droopy, I bring it back inside and it perks right back up. Will be interesting to see what temp it takes to not be droopy. Light wind, full sun and 50F wasn’t enough. But I made it go back out for another round, hopefully toughen it up a bit.
