I was getting a little nervous as the trunk shape of this plant was starting to change a little (flatten out). I decided to go ahead and repot it and the do an inspection of the roots. I'm glad I did as the amount of root growth was pretty amazing!
Repotting also gave me a chance to use a mix with dry stall and the faster draining benefits it brings - the original mix I had it in was unamended Black Gold Cactus mix (which isn't too bad - but not as good as you can mix on your own). I'm much more at ease that this plant is doing well.
My daughter Noe got me interested in succulents in early 2016 and ever since we've been on a quest!!! Naturally with so many new plants around, we needed pots to put all of them into. The typical pots you can buy from the big box stores just don't have character that suits these incredibly interesting plants. So we've both been making our own pottery. And now we're branching out into other plants - Aeroids, Orchids and Citrus!!! Check out what our green thumbs have been doing!!!
