The pics say it all. Welcome back, Mando. You’re much more manageable and free from rot. Go forth.

One more to show more origin story. This is when it weighed around 30 pounds.

At least. That pot was so full of straight-up soil. I would move it back and forth - and then back into the house - before May. The guy who previously owned it had a massive house with bay windows. Ps It was an hour-drive back, and I had to hold onto the pot the whole way. Mando, you’re crazy for this one.

Mando is a survivor. Looks great!

So he will grow new roots from the cut end?

I brushed against my ox tongue earlier today and it snapped off at the soil, to my horror. I stuck him back in the soil. 😥

Per my semi-educated approach, yep. You cover the bottom inch or so and it roots. I have a few I have snapped off like that, and same thing. Let the snapped off part callous for a couple days, then stick it in the ground.

Awesome, thank you!!
