Time; an integral part of plant growth.

As time passes and some care is applied, the garden has a new, rich, fullness that gladdens this gardener's heart.

Time is a healer.
The solanum macranthum aka giant potato tree rebounds saucily from a  severe pruning (amputation). It's been warm and humid, which this one seems to love.  I've been feeding it with fish/ poop / SuperThrive tea-- which the entire garden seems to love.  

Time for some blooming here.
Giving this one regular iron and soil acidifier along with food . I'm a mile away from the ocean and the salt in the air sweetens the soil too much-- when grown in a pot. In ground the natural leaf mold probably keeps the ph a little friendlier. This is total conjecture. No science at all, none. This gardenia's scent is a vanilla / ylang-ylang -ish-- well worth the effort.
