My plant is about five years old and it was just starting to look droopy and stay wet for too long and new growth featured a lot of soft brown. Since it hangs from the ceiling, I don’t wanna just get bigger and bigger pots and put a lot of stress on the ceiling bolts. I took a look and it was starting to look root bound, and I’m sure there were no nutrients left in the soil. My original potting medium five years ago was just straight dirt. So I kept the root ball somewhat intact, but added cactus mix and orchid bark and some moss. Getting it in and out of that macramé hanger and downstairs and out of the pot by myself was a chore, and I was actually doing really good until it came to putting it back up on the hanger. I had to put a splint on one that started snapping and a whole other big branch broke off AS I WAS REHANGING IT and I had to plant it back in the dirt and hope it takes root cause it’s just way too big to propagate in a jar. The other four propagations I had going, two ended up in here a while back and two ended up in another pot. Ugh. I hate how it looks so uneven compared to my memories of it, especially with the one branch sticking straight up on the splint but I hope it’ll fan out in time. Google basically said like yeah that’s gonna happen because the branches are heavy. It does crack me up how big the mature leaves are compared with the propagation ones. 😂
