Probably need to top this girl. She is lanky. She is teaching to the top of my greenhouse now but not filling out as I had hoped. Topping her is inevitable. She is my only special queen so I hate to do it and kill her or stunt her. Booo.
But I think it will help To fill her out. And maybe thicken her trunk. She’s the size of a tree with the stem of a plant. Luckily she is indoor in greenhouse and wind isn’t. A problem. I put the light fan on her in the evening in hopes that some movement would thicken the stem. I’ve secured her with stakes. And tied it down.
She’s a sun lover! Reaching for the stars!
No pest infestation. These are outdoors so some pest attacks can’t be avoided. But nothing on them on daily inspection. Some of the upper leaves show the same browning here and there. It’s Curious.
Looks like some pest dmg and then possibly just a lower hanging old leaf dying off as the plant self prunes. I'd be more worried with the pest holes. 🤟
So my girl here is 10feet tall. She just started showing signs of flower. I’m assuming photos have a flower stretch period? What the heck am I supposed to do? Ahhhhh oh no. Help
