Trunking Filamentosa

Here's some pics of a filamentosa i picked up that has started to grow a small trunk. It's a little beat up right now but should look better by summer. :D

Looking good Jay. Now to keep it growing try to keep the suckers of the bottom. Force the plant to grow from the trunk :) That is part of what I did :)

Here's to all the global warming pushers, may your winters be -30 below and four feet of snow in your driveway. Because I want you happy.

I was stopping mine from flowering, but now I think I have changed my mind again? Sorry it is kind of a trail and error and not sure what works best, but I now if you do stop it from flowering it will keep growing out the same spear, but not very well sometimes.
So I will keep trying new things.

Keep us posted Jay :D
