Hey Jonny,

I dont see why the method you mentioned wouldnt work. Of course this time of year the best thing to do in addition to GOOD artifical light and a warm area would be to put the pot on a heating pad. I get the heat pads from Eckerd drugs which is now some other name. There relativly inexpensive and I haven't electrocuted my self....yet.

Thanks James,

I don't know what I'm going to do. I might take it back to the 1st branch, there really isn't any taper on this tree.
I guess the thread graft would work, but the long term picture looks better with some taper and more branching.

You can also get a heating pad designed for this purpose and less risk of shock. Park seed is but one (the only I can think up right now) of the places that offer these. Seed starting supplies should turn up a heating pad. You can get as much or as little protection via thermostat as you can handle.

ps. I too have used a normal heating pad, but be careful and I wouldn't recommend it.
