She fell out of the window earlier in the week. Guess it was tired of waiting for it's new custom made pot! 😅
Removed a few new pups from the rear and the ones that broke off from the fall, in water now. Idk what to do with those, toss or grow roots, give away?
Soaked her in my sink for 1.5 days, then popped it out of its old pot and squiggled into the new one. Slightly deeper, same width, but 4 times more space sideways.
Wish I had thinner plastic board to use for more root space, but was using free leftovers. Will probably add two little nails so it cannot fall out of the window again. 😅

That’s a clever spot for a plant. Looks great adds a touch of warmth . I had one like that once it is a nice plant to grow inside. One year I put it in the greenhouse with a bunch of seedlings. A squirrel got in and literally tore everything up. Ate all it could and buried hazelnuts everywhere. I still don’t know what that squirrel had against my spider plant.
Your plant is gorgeous. 😍🧚🏼

My daughter told me that she had a squirrel bury 5 whole peanuts in their shells in her potted herbs on her back porch.

Apparently, it has had striped pups before...
Another haircut and 60 pups given away.
7 striped kept bc I thought I never had any before....

Three biggest got planted tonight.
Yes, that's an old freezer bin. Lol. Planters are either the wrong size or hella expensive, so, repurposing!

Rest will stay in water a bit longer or I'll give them away.
