For anyone tempted to get a Bonnie Curly, be aware. When it comes time for repotting it’s just short of a nightmare. It’s so curly and dense it’s almost impossible to see what you are doing so you don’t cover the leaf base where the plant should not be covered. I swear it took me a good twenty minutes to switch soil out.

One of my friends gave me 6 small plants and I ended up promptly giving 5 away because they looked like they were going to be disasters when they got bigger 😂

Get a Curly Spider they said, it will be fun they said…… 🙁
