Figo Preto and Cia Graft pictures

I just love the way they grow.  Today I learned that I strangled a few with my bands too tight (well, with practice, I will get better!)

Something happened to this Tucan, it had beautiful leaves, and I had that gnat attack and one day of hot sun... I think the combination at the window. It lost all leaves, but Tucan is alive - this was one of my first grafts and I really wish it to not die on me. I love the bird shape.  I removed the bands today, perhaps the bands restricted the nutrients to the leaves.. the graft is solid!

Tucan  is my naming of this unknown (lost name in gnat crisis)
