@plantswithkrystal: Thaumatophyllum bipinnatifidum is over 60 years old and I have no idea the last time she was repotted. In nature, these grow up the trunks of trees but in a home, a support of some kind is important as it matures. She grew all these years with no support and she eventually developed a thick and twisted trunk. The first step was repotting! Using a combo of indoor potting soil, orchid bark, and perlite, I found this lovely 24inch pot with drainage holes. For now, she luckily twisted herself into her pot. I’ll add a wood piece under that large stem to avoid it sitting in the soil and let her acclimate to her new home. She’ll be in front of my south facing window where she’ll get about 3-4 hours of bright light (approximately 500 FC when measuring with a light meter) and I’ll water when the soil is all mist completely dry.
