TameDriver Twincharged April 22, 2017 Share April 22, 2017 My poor 铁树 already hitting the ceiling. If u want a bushier appearance, prune down to 1/2 the height. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TameDriver Twincharged April 22, 2017 Share April 22, 2017 Must wait until it flower than can buy toto. Not every plant that flowers will bring good luck! I was brought up to believe that when tieshu flowers, disaster or tragic events will happen. During my grandparents' kampong days, tieshu were commonly planted & grew to >4m tall. It seemed that whenever this plant flowered, bad things happened, eg. Sudden illnesses, deaths.... Hence, my grandparents never plant this on their land. I only know this plant is call tieshu. Very difficult to flower. Plant for at least 6-7 yrs already. Never flower before. Maybe no direct sunlight. If flower, toto must buy big big already. Please don't wish for it to flower! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My grandfather was a pig farmer, there was once the 铁树 garden behind the farm blossom with flowers, and the smell was very nice. An old man told him to be careful, and when the flowers drop, his farm was strike with pig diseases, all gone. 全军覆没!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
