This accelerated rate of growth is a nice break from the usual length of time required for other bonsai, I would think. I do wonder how long one can keep an annual alive, though...

I'll keep you posted on how it ages. The fast growth is one of the reasons that I think this guy is fun, he's something that I can play with in the winter time when outdoor trees are in storage and other tropicals are slowing down.

Ah, your impatiens appears to be less demanding than many mame. I hear of people having to water them several times a day.

He's one of my less demanding mames. That's the main response I get when I start talking mame to folks - 'They need watering two to three times a day'. This guy gets watered in the morning before I go to work, but there are times I work until 1am and have to be back at 8am, so I skip morning watering on those days and water when I get home in the evening. He tolerates this just fine. I can't take it two days - then he starts to wilt, but if I have to be gone for longer I 'dome' him with an empty two-liter pop bottle and he's good for a bit. And the one time he did wilt all his leaves off, one watering and he was sprouting new ones.
