Finally repotted Shrek (AKA The Beast), my 99 cent rescue. I've had her 4 or 5 years and she is definitely one of my favorites. She's had mealy bugs twice! Plant's a fighter!

    I have a Shrek too! More than once I thought it was a goner, but it always comes back swinging.

    Does that make you feel good to take a plant from near-death to thriving! I have a couple like that.

      Love it. I used to do it with dogs but don't have the health for it anymore. Guess it's my substitute. 🤷‍♀️

      I think she's about four years old and I've honestly never pruned her. That's just how she's grown.

    I understand what I asked you if you remember when the stem started to harden, to a trunk and not a steam anymore

      Looking back at the pictures, it looks like it took at least two years.
