Problem child. recovering from Pneumonia and now hurting my foot . ive been neglectful in my watering of my Deutzia.

I was so angry all my hard work that even one plant should shrivel up and die.

The next few days i still left the dry stump and watering it for many days ,disgusted i dug it out with my hands just to see how well the roots grew. to my surprise a full respectable amount of growth occurred , i was ready to toss it to the side till one more .thought came to mind.

i dug my thumb nail into the side of the bark and it was still bright green underneath .

I replanted it.

 

Yesterday i just noticed three new buds forming on what i thought was dead .. all my other Deutzia cuttings are doing well just this one problem child.
