This is my handsome chonky boi. All he does is grow. I’ve only had him 1.25 years and this is his second repot.

How did you get yours so big?

#### Mads replied on 2025-05-27

He started out much bigger than most plants I buy. He lives near a window and under grow light, and I follow Planta’s instructions for watering \& fertilizing. Other than that, good genes I guess! ☺️
