Blue candle doing ok? Got it in mid May and it's got a lot taller. Seems happy but just wanted to check he's not stretching himself out or anything.

A few bits of roots are poking out of the bottom of the pot, too, so shall I just size him up a bit?

Thanks!

I got the mug second-hand, but it's from Gift Republic (UK); I'm not allowed to post a link here but it's called Bee Enamel Mug. 🐝

Agree with Autumn! But, where did you get that pot/cup?!

What is that white dot on the side? On the first picture it looks like its poking out, and on the second one it seemed to have sunk in.
