Hi hope this is the right place.. I'm growing a baobab as an indoor bonsai. it's around 2 months old.. what I was wondering if I cut back all watering this winter or continue to water as a seedling ? 
Thanks

You will need to keep it growing all year round so water as necessary.

Maybe you could bonsai it?

I've heard it called that before... I hear the fruit is very nice.. I don't think mine will be bearing any fruit in the foreseeable future @philippasmith2

The legend goes that the baobab grew so tall and strong and proud the gods took umbrage and picked them out of the ground and tossed them back upside down.   It is thought they can live well over a 1000 years so I hope you have someone in mind to take yours on @eamoncunniffejWGk9i-r.
