I’m super excited about my philo squamiferum… when I got her from the nursery her old leaves showed sign of neglect, now shes about to unfurl 2 new leaves. On the fence of propping her up with a moss pole. What do you think?

fabulous! have you ever repotted yours? such big leaves i’m worried my small pot doesn’t have enough soil for it 😅

i purchased it in a 6in, it’s now in a 10in. she grows SUPER fast, usually a new leaf every 3 weeks. roots take up most of the 10in now with the pole in there too

Id think it will get top heavy \& be in danger of snapping without one 🤷🏻‍♀️

Moss pole couldn’t hurt..
