This is Chuckles still as smiley as ever, I gave him a shower this morning. (When mum passed during Covid I didn’t know what to do with her cup, so Chuckles took up residence). Soil mixed with a bit of gravel for extra draining seems to have worked well).

So sorry your mum passed. But what a great idea to put a plant in her cup. (Love her cup)

Chuckles started out as an ivy which quickly outgrew the cup. At one time Chuckles was also a Venus fly trap (that looked awesome kind of looked like he had ringlets 😆) Now he looks like a cool dude!
