Repotted it into a 5gal bucket because large pots are pricyyyy. This tree is about 5 years old and has made hundreds of props that inhabit friend's houses around town.

You can wrap rope around the bucket to make it look nice on the cheap. Just takes rope and a little glue.

I thought about that, but I water from the bottom up and this sits nicely in my watering bucket.

I gotcha. How heavy is that thing, though?!

[-] YeetPics@mander.xyz 2 points 1 year ago

At least 40lbs with the soil. It's a bit top heavy now so I plan on transplanting it into a very low and wilde pot eventually.
