When left unsupervised without any discipline.
History: For some strange reason, back in April I wrote a featured article about my white lily plant which {at the time} resembled a triffid.
This also led to another featured article about the totally weird cabbage lettuce sat nearby. I was hoping for a free salad.
Present day: It´s all changed. The ex cabbage lettuce is the True Triffid, had me fooled for a while. Excuse repetition but this has to be seen to be believed:
Seven months ago, with friends.
Breaking news: Re-potted yesterday in it´s own private space, strapped up with SIX FOOT tall garden canes. Bit of luck it hasn´t grown teeth yet.
Not exactly photogenic, it´s stands up straight in real life, so the house across the way there must be subsiding a bit.
Even worse it´s had a baby.
Pride of place, it sits at the end of the front terrace along with the likes of not weird palm trees. The odd {or normal} person passing by may stand and wonder, or go into shock, or just plain crumple to the floor laughing. I don´t care, can´t throw it out, so show it off to the mass of people who don’t even know this area exists. Which, other than a few natives amounts to approximately ten persons per year.
However, a seed of curiosity has been planted. What if,, I open the front door in seven months time to be confronted by a forest and eaten alive?
So has anyone got a clue as to what this “plant thing” is, or even better how to cope with the darn thing?

Kind Regards and all that.
That is quite the plant or is it a tree, Heather? Clearly you have an undiscovered green thumb.

Oh my god, they’ve granted me Wi-Fi in the trauma unit while I’m busy knitting drip feeds together. Meantime I sit and await a green thumbs up from the Spanish therapist……

I’ve had that plant for a couple of years now but wasn’t lucky enough to grow it that big. It’s just quietly sitting in a pot not doing anything. Ugh!
That is lovely! You really must have anything green thumb.
I forgot it’s name but it is one of the succulent plants I have. When the name comes to me I will write it in your comment box.

Thanks, would be interesting to find out. All credit goes to the plant itself, never went near it for months!

For real! That must be what I’m doing wrong. Maybe just just a little too much attention. LoL
