# i am continually blown away by this plant. it was two rotten cuttings…

_Posted by Plant Father on 2024-01-11_

i am continually blown away by this plant. it was two rotten cuttings i cleaned up and rooted in perlite in july. potted them up in august and they were rootbound by september. one of the aerial roots even tried to grow over the side of the pot (you can see the arch of it close to the soil), so i repotted it and haven’t seen any growth since. a few days ago i noticed the tiniest bit of a new leaf poking out, and every day since it’s grown crazy fast… hoping the other cutting is working on a new leaf too
