Wow Great Growing!
Very Cool Flowers! Thanks for posting.
I have had one of these for the past 4/5 years. It had made 2 new growths but they rotted (years ago) the main plant keeps on growing.
I have the pot stood into a couple of pots trying to keep the long leaves from touching the surface, & find hard to do ...it's becoming a pyramid...
I would love to see a pic of the whole plant as you have it growing as well as details of your growing conditions. Thanks in advance.
