# I’ve had this baby for about 3 years now - it was about 1/3 the size…

_Postat av ToPlantHarmony den 2023-10-02_

I’ve had this baby for about 3 years now - it was about 1/3 the size when I first got it. It took me a while to figure out how to keep it happy so it looks thinner near the bottom where it lost a few leaves while I was learning 😅.

It’s been getting so tall that I recently cut off the top 3 leaves and stuck them back in the soil to try to fill the plant out more. I also moved it out of my south facing window and put it into a shadier corner to try to slow the growth down, but then the new leaves stopped getting fenestrations 😕 so I added a grow light. It’s about 5.5 feet tall now.
