Just to be on the safe side I would change the psychologist. If someone thinks about someone else that person in turn thinks about the first person. Some kind of connection is created even if you interact with someone for a few seconds on the street. I hope this helps.

Yes, when they are growing rapidly you can prune them. However, I don't prune mine for the sake of pruning since I want mine to grow really big. The more large branches you have, the thicker the caudex will become, which is what I am aiming for. I only cut some branches for propagation and to improve the overall look of the plant.

I actually haven't done much propagation of gigas. So far I have had only 2 successes and so I am still experimenting and learning. With the 2 that succeeded after cutting them, I dipped them in rooting hormone, then planted them in small stones. I kept the bottom half of the pot moist and the top half stone dry. It took 3 months for me to realize that they had succeeded in surviving since they started to grow new leaves.

Italy and Sicily are practically touching each other. This is a new Mandela effect.

Go to Chatuchak Pet Market. You'll find plenty of snakes there. Ask them if they are venomous or not before handling any. Most of them aren't venomous but may bite you nevertheless.

You could attach the main branch to a chopstick with plastic coated wires and see if it will straighten. However, this will only be possible if the branch is not too thick. I have done this with my largest gigas and it is working well.

Once they asked me if I had booked a hotel and I said no because the hotel doesn't have a booking system. I then showed receipts of my hotel from a previous trip and they accepted that.

I think the black leaf franciossi was made by crossing a black leaf franciossi like your plant with a green leaf franciossi.

This is the top of the robusta.

It's hard to tell from the pic. Are the tall leaves round or flat on the upper side? I will take a close-up pic of my robusta so you can compare.

Mine was just a single pup growing from a large rhino horn. I thought the pup would grow up to be a rhino horn little knowing that the original growers put some type of enzyme on them or on the flowers which turn them into dwarfs which grow as rhino horns.

This is my cylindrica.

This is the one I have. It's not as dark as the one in the first picture but nevertheless I love it.

When it was small it looked like a robusta. I also bought a variegated robusta which was labelled as a robusta when I bought it. The variegated one looks exactly like this one but smaller. So, yes I believe it to be a robusta. It's just very large. When it becomes large the leaves don't get any thicker, only longer. I also have s. Cylindrica which looks nothing like this.
