The Kurapia got planted though it may not look like it.  

They had healthy roots and new shoots will get going with the 

watering. No flooding but just keep the surface moist, especially with 

the high temps this week. PRE herbicides were applied 

and when plants are up, will apply some POST.

32 DAYS WITHOUT WATERING

Torrance, California

Mark left to Japan on Feb 6 and returned today on March 10. 

A pot of Kurapia was left over the patio with no irrigation for 32 days.

Though we had some rainy and cloudy days during the period, 

Kurapia looks well and healthy.
