Well, I ignored my flatmate's pleas to throw mine out and as of last week there has been root growth! There's a little one just poking out of the bottom. I'm excited to see if it keeps growing or just gets all stubborn or dies or whatever. We shall see.


A couple of years (more like 15 :corsair: ) ago I did the same thing. Toothpicks, root growth, shoved it in a pot. Now admittedly I didn't care for it at all, save some water now and then, but I guess I should warn you that what I ended up with wasn't very 'bonsai' at all. When it was about 1ft high it started growing fast as gently caress, before turning into a gangly mess in my not-very-sunny goonroom. The leaves were huge, something like 10 inches long. I kept it like that for 5 years or so, before it had to go. All in all a cool experiment, but not something I'd drag in front of sensei.
