wow m8! That looks awsome. You still haven't built up that new plant rack...haven't you?? Tsk tsk!! Now if you would have already made it, you would have gotten room to let that beast grow un-controlled.

[GrowinOld]

Ah!
Glad yer' a patient man! And not one to "rush"!
Such that lends itself to the decision to sharing some wealth
instead of just making room for more!

Some day perhaps one of these plants will be large enough to divide and share...

[Am thankful you do both!]


it is what makes this hobby most enjoyable...
Well, one of the things!

Take care!

(Nice red roots you have there! Like a beet! Wow! On my pitcher, I have no idea what's under that sphagnum!)
