Well my D.elephantipes has certainly never put out vines like this before! [img] D.elephantipes ( photo / image / picture from Joe Caudex's...
I think the plant is just getting older and has begun putting out mature vines. Thanks for the help!
I've given it a plum tree twig to climb up rather than an old metal coat hanger like last time! [img] ( photo / image / picture from Joe...
Not sure if you can tell from this pic but the stem is way thicker than usual! [img] ( photo / image / picture from Joe Caudex's Garden )

Forgot to add Sinningia leucotricha! [img]
Hello all! hope you are all well. As it is spring here now I thought I'd show some of my plants old and new. Unfortunately I lost a few over...
