She's looking rather unhappy in the one picture I posted this week, due to extreme heat and her thirst being hard to keep up with. Some larger leaves are starting to turn yellow, providing nutrition to other parts. I've been defoliating them as they get depleted of value, and doing the best I can, given her large size relative to her limited root space. We'll just have to see how she handles finishing up. She does look sad like this a couple times per week, as she is a heavy drinker and visually shows drooping leaves very fast, but perks right up after a watering every time.
As a reminder, this plant has a "fasciation" mutation, which contributes to her odd appearance.
@Hologram, after 21 years of growing, I never even tried it yet, but that comment made me chuckle 😆 Thanks for taking a peek at my grows. Followed to watch you stuff as well.
@gottagrowsometime, This is a completely different phenotype than the other 2 of this cultivar I have growing outside. This one has a mutation causing a lot of extra foliage, and energy spent growing apically due to a fasciated stem. Usually my plants start flowering outdoors anywhere from 1-3 weeks from now, and because of this particular mutation, I don't really want to alter her top at this stage in the game. Thanks for stopping by though!
