Prophetfive,

I bought a juncea from a place in LA, mailorder. They are unusual but not rare in LA basin. LA city flower is reginea.

I am concerned about it because it is showing no signs of growth in 2 1/2 months. Any tips? It is supposed to grow during the warm months, and with our night bottoming out at 24C I would assume that is now. It came with a huge root ball and sound, healthy looking roots. I have fed it modestly, watering mostly from the bottom with saved rainwater or tap water left overnight. Should I just whack the pot with stick or what?
