_Posted by plantgeek on 2026-07-19_

am i doing this right?? 😅 thaumatophyllum bipinnatifidum. i scored the aerial roots so that green tissue was showing and i removed two damaged leaves. the pot is about 6" diameter and 4" tall, is that too large? it's difficult to fit it in a smaller pot, it really wants to fall over, but if i have to i'll figure it out.

When there isn’t any actual roots the pot needs to be small. Like any other plant the pot can only be 1-2 inches bigger then the rootball and sense there is no rootball it has to be pretty small.
