I live in Singapore so the climate is not a problem. Have just pruned and fertilised. Added Apple cider vinegar diluted in water as well as I read that it needs an alkaline soil. Now lots of new shoots but don’t specifically see any buds yet. Would you have any pics of what the buds look like when they first start to form?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01968161117133687618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6901937196017931930.post-45657079840903308842018-08-16T22:47:54.115+08:002018-08-16T22:47:54.115+08:00Hi,
