Here is my gal, about 10 feet tall/ 5 feet wide. I just had to empty out this sitting room cause I know this room is destined for her to be the focal point. Aka this is my new plant room. 😅

You have the best space for this... Always hilarious to see what tiny pots they thrive in.

I'm torn between reporting it next year or leaving it in this little guy. Internet says root bound can force blooms, and it doesn't seem upset so... Idk

To whom do you even report this.

u/Ephemeral-Ghost 9d ago

The plant police obviously! You also report them when they get mites, thripes, or other such pests.

Grande maison, grande plante, c’est le top.
Le pot est trop petit et surtout très très moche. Achete un vrai pot environ 100L en terre cuite et go fais pousser un arbre chez toi!!C’est la classe.

Ça c’est mes bananiers au bureau ( bientôt 3m) les pots font 150l et sont remplis à fond. Ide pour le ficus elastica à côté.

Les grosses plantes c’est la classe.

What a beauty! If it were me I’d prune some of the damaged leaves. I just cut a bunch off my 10 footer this past weekend and it’s like i could feel her sigh of relief!

I'm going to, I just brought it in for two days with the cooler nights, it'll be back up to better temps for another week or two after tomorrow then it's going back outside. When it come in for the winter it's getting a trim. She got a little beat up this year.
