This is big berthas story lol:

She started off huge and beautiful, but infested with mites, root rot and too small of a pot with twisted stems, and roots coming out of the bottom. This was right before winter when unfortunately she took a turn for the worst (2nd pic). Until I decided to give her the biggest chop ever, leaving her with 2 leaves and a new pot. Now… a month later, she has 5 leaves with another on the way, and a few stems in the soil growing new growth points!!

She has been through a lot but I am determined to make her big and beautiful again!

I’m sorry that happened!! But you’ve clearly got the adansonii touch — clean slate!

Thank you! Adansoniis hold a special place in my heart, idk what it is about them but they intrigue me so much!
