She started as such a little pup and now her leaves are bigger than my hand
I got her about 2 years ago.

She’s absolutely stunning
My cat would love to nom on that.
I wish I could have plants and a cat.
You could try a cat friendly plant and hang it out of reach? Not sure how acrobatic your cat is though, I’m lucky mine leaves the plants alone. Though I think I’ve overwhelmed her with the quantity and so she’s not very interested lol
Yeah, I’m fearful of hearing a noise in the other room and finding a smashed plant and a cat running away.
I should investigate tho. I’m sure there are plants he wouldn’t bother.
Nice. What’s your care regimen like? Colors look great, especially against that tomato-colored wall.
Lol the wall is actually more dusky in person (like a muddy rust), my camera makes it look bright orange so I look like a crazy person.
Care regime lately has just been to water when dry (so like every 7-14 days) and fertilize rarely (mostly because I forget). It actually doesn’t live where it is in the picture but hangs out right in my east facing sliding door so it gets lots of morning light. I keep it and most of my plants in a chunky mix (1 part orchid bark, 1 part perlite, 1 part potting soil), otherwise they take forever to dry out with the humidity here.
It probably would be a lot bigger if I hadn’t swapped everything to semi hydro last year to try and be rid of fungus gnats (a strategy which actually did work, but I’m a lazy plant parent so they didn’t really thrive in that). It lived in water for quite a while re-rooting so it was just a sad and dying leaf a couple months ago. It’s made a huge comeback this summer, with another leaf on the way.
So nice! Really want one of these now.
