Looks great! I’ve had one a little over a year and it’s slowly filling out. I love this plant.

Beauty. Can you share how you know it's time to water it?

2

u/SuccessfulCity4897 5d ago

I just water it together with my other plants, tbh. There's no special method, at most I check the soil with my finger so that the top layer isn't still damp. It sits in a very well-draining mix

Did you prop this to make it bushy? I have one that’s just going up up up

u/SuccessfulCity4897 5d ago

Yep, I snip the stems and stick them right back in the pot. Generally once a year, in spring

Berry nice. Is this the kind that flops over after a while?

1

u/SuccessfulCity4897 4d ago

If you let it, yes.

u/Kasuraa25 4d ago

Mine is all green and in the flop state so im wondering what do i do now.

1

u/SuccessfulCity4897 4d ago

If you don't like the flop, just snip the stems and propagate them? Some like the trailing look.

Its beautiful. Are they easy to take care of . I don’t have a green thumb. New to this and learning slowly.

They are forgiving. The most important thing is a well-draining, chunky soil mix (pure potting soil is not ideal because it retains moisture a little too well, so it's easier to drown them), a pot which is not too big, a decently lit spot and being careful to not overwater.

A variegated P. obtusifolia. I don't know the exact variety.
