Default Re: CAR ACCIDENT!!!!!!!!!!

Apartment/Condo living has general rules for not placing potted plants at the edge of balconies etc. If you do it, please secure it properly. Like Arvin say if it hits a car you will definitely get into trouble. Trouble that will cost money. But worst case scenario if it hits someone's head, you would be deeper trouble. You need to secure it to the edge for the safety of your neighbors and residents living in your apartment/condo as well.

Anyway, I feel sad for you looking at the condition of your truncata. We'll wait an see after you treat it like what Arvin suggested. Hope it will revive for you. Keep us updated yaa.

Didn't you have a similar accident some time ago? (or maybe someone else) I think the best way is to prevent the same thing from happening again, if you put your plants on the ledge, then find a way to prevent them from falling. Some kind of rail?

Please be careful because the other way might also happen, if your plant falls and hits a vehicle then that vehicle gets damaged or gets in more accident, you might get in trouble too. So it goes both ways.
No not me..

Once it fully recovers, you gotta slowly get it used to more and more sunlight...How much roots left on the poor thing? And the stem and shoot centre suffers from any crushing?
