I gave Beaker a small trim today. He is due for a repot. We have had him for at least 3 years😱🤦‍♀️with no repot.

I’d love to see how big I can get him!! My husband is concerned 😂🤣

I've seen these at a botanical garden before. They can get extremely large. Like 10+ft diameter at the base.

I repotted him! He was sooo root bound…roots were climbing ups the sides! He should be happier now
