Carl,

Thanks for the responses. I have a few questions.
Now that your buttonwood has recovered do you continue to grow it in you ICU
area? How often n an average are you watering it? The 1/4 tsp Miracid, is
that per gallon of water? Finally. mine is currently on a humidity tray,
I have thought of using a propagation at instead of the humidity tray. If I
do should I supplement the humidity by other means? Thanks in advance for
your help.

Manny

As far as the Buttonwood, I had the same experience with leaf scorch, so
I am also growing mine indoors. I did put the Buttonwood in an
enclosed structure, like a mini greenhouse (I call it my ICU) for over a
month and it recovered from its bout with the sun....

Now that it is recovered I water it and fertilize the Buttonwood with a
1/4 tsp of Miracid for five days and two days with plain water to wash
any salt build up. I also keep my Buttonwood on a propagation mat,
since it loves to have warm feet!

I can not speak to the Bald Cypress since I just got my first one the
summer. I am encouraged that Mom can grow them in WV since I live in
Colorado and hope to keep mine alive. Currently it is outside in a tray
filled with 2 to 3 inches of water. I can not advise you unfortunately on
how to best grow them inside. I can tell you that I have a bookshelf with a
florescent bulb (tye that go under cabinets) to provide additional light.
I
have been growing for the past year under these lights a Buttonwood and
Sheferela. Both of which are doing quiet well. The Button wood, which I
was told would not do well in this climate is recovering quite well in this
cbine from some leaf scorch that it received outside as I was trying to
acamatize it to outdoor conditions
