The mini mugos are very tempting, but I find them to be extremely
temperamental, worse than serissa. They are especially susceptible to repotting errors. I
think I may lose another one, possibly due to a late frost last month. Can't
offer specific advice, except keep it in part shade & don't overwater. If you
lose it, try again. At least these days they are easy to find at the nurseries
& not expensive in small sizes.

I've lost a half dozen so far. I quit.
