Any tips for dealing with Gloria here? She’s growing sideways and just threw a HUGE leaf, and with the new weight she’s toppling over. I clearly need to re-pot her - any way I can get her upright without breaking her?!

Unfortunately you won’t be able to stand her upright due to the stem growing into the soil. I would recommend actually potting it in a rectangle pot so it could grow along the entire thing but it’s your choice!

Thank you, I was thinking I might do that!

This also looks like a gloriosum and not a melanochrysum. Glorisoums are crawlers. She’s a beauty regardless 😊

Thank you so much! Funny I actually thought I had it in the app as a gloriosum - thanks for pointing out!
