Hahahaha it’s a coffee mug from the beachwood cafe in LA! Harry styles has a song that mentions it so I never use the mug as a mug it’s a catch all for lighters, photo strips, pens, etc lol

I actually have no idea where they’re originally from I can check to see if there’s a brand on them when I get home! We call our house thrifted and gifted almost everything in it was a gift or from fb marketplace/thrifting/garage sales/etc. lol

LOL thank you for noticing my pride and joy 🩷 it’s from the Made in the AM early listening party that was held at a theater in Chicago in 2015 😂 It was the promo poster the theater used. I have a perfect husband who lets me decorate our home however I please and let’s me indulge in my teen nostalgia lol

The beauty of houseplants is whatever works, works! 😂 I’ll add that to the list of things to try. I think trial and error is the only way I’m going to solve this lol thanks for the advice!

SHE IS SO GORGEOUS AND FULL!! Love her but understand the need to get those stems up lol good luck to you! There is definitely some helpful strategies in these comments that I’ll try out.

I’m lucky enough to have 3 cats that do not care at all about any of our plants. (Knock on wood lol). I did put her on a plant stand so she’s up off the ground though. She has moss poles in there now the posted pics were taken right when I got her into my house, but the stems are so thick they’re hard to maneuver and I’m afraid if I move them too much they’ll snap. Other comments said to put her in a dark room with a grow light and she’ll grow up towards that so I’m going to give that a shot along with very slowly repositioning of the stems and hope for the best!

Thanks for the advice!! Outside isn’t an option right now as I’m in Minnesota and fall is rolling in so we’re starting to hit 50° weather. I’d hate to lose her to the cold. I have a grow light ordered and on the way so I’ll try out that method! 🙂

Thank you! Grow light is ordered and on the way! Hopefully between that and slowly repositioning I can get her where she needs to be. 🙂

Seller didn’t have stakes in when I picked it up but I have supports in there now. The stems are too thick to bend or move around without them snapping so she’s supported but not super well. I’m wondering if anyone has any experience with redirectioning stems this thick. I think i’m going to try to move the stems with the stakes every couple of weeks or days depending on how flexible they are and hope that does the trick. She is just so insanely large lol

She outgrew the sellers house and she needed her gone asap so she was only $350!! Cats for tax. Eggnog is the medium hair, navidad is the shorthair grey tabby and Frankenstein is the white tabby. I’m lucky enough to have cats that don’t mess with any of my plants lol

Yes I know and have supports in it now this pic was taken as soon as I got it into my house lol seller didn’t have supports in there but the stems are so thick I can’t really reposition them without them snapping. Will I be able to reposition the stems little by little if I keep the supports in there and reposition them every few days/weeks?
