Well, GD let me add a proper week number for this very old plant. That wasn't expected, cool!
We are doing great, with lush green leaves still, and also slowly inching up -- now at 5ft tall.
I didn't do anything to her again this week. No defoliation or anything. I like care-free plants!
Now, when bloom comes, she is definitely going to need care, with strong support for her heavy branches. But, we'll cross that bridge soon enough!
Nice! I grew some grease monkey clones last year. Definitely pungent flowers. You will know. I'm growing seeds from those plants this year - not the same, but I am hopeful.
This diary is a living example that one must maintain hope until the end π. The recovery of the Monkey Grease has been amazing. Will we witness, through this diary, how our sweet "Monkey" becomes a "Monster"? Stay tuned for the next chapters πππ§‘
Hey did you have any problems with pests? I transplanted my young plants and all the leaves were eaten within 2 hours. Do you have any idea how to fight them off?
