This is Bert, I’ve had him for 3.5 years now (added a pic from the first day I got him!) he has had impressive growth but has been sat by a cold window without any beam support until I recently moved house, repotted and added some beams. Because of his lack of support he has naturally grown a bit tangled, and the only way I could attach him to the beams was to add two. Does anyone have any tips for healthy growth going forward to help his tangling?
