lol...I broke one of mine already! And I've only had them since September!
Can you see the new growth? Is it obvious enough?
Yep...that top left branch brand is new since I received these. Those are 3" spikes! Even the spikes have spikes!
The others I ordered seem to have a more sane growth pattern so far.
All of them are under lights in a southeast facing window. The one with the huge spikes is the only one that has not been repotted out of the nursery soil yet. I had offered one to my daughter when I ordered them and she, of course, chose that one
She just hasn't gotten around to repotting it yet...or taking over its care. It's conveniently sitting right next to the others so I just watch over it for now.
Oh, and didn't realize these were close cousins to the weeds whose seeds get tangled up in my socks every time I walk in the woods and that have to be picked out one by one because they grip so tight they don't wash out. Don't tell me wife!
