I was given this plant 9-ish years ago. Back then, it was the size of a spoon; now it’s basically my curtains. Every 2 or 3 years since getting it, I’ve transferred it to a pot twice as big as the previous one, but I feel like I’ve finally ran out of runway.
I kept expecting it to reach a happy adult size and stop growing, but after looking at photos it seems like this species can grow to be the size of a tree.
At its current size, it’s at the limit of what I can realistically carry in and out of my house especially when it comes to getting it through a door without snapping anything off (the weather here is only warm enough to leave it outside for ~5 months out of the year, so I can’t leave it out indefinitely).
At the same time, if I don’t repot it, won’t it run out of dirt and start making tendrils like crazy? Every time I’ve transferred it to a new pot, its foot was 90% root, 10% dirt. I guess I could add satellite pots that the tendrils could eat from, but I don’t imagine that’s what most people do.
That window is unfortunately by far my best indoor natural light source. When it’s outside, it’s much happier and spreads out to 2-3x the volume.
Anyway, do any of you have any tips for how to handle such a large plant, going forward? Thanks, in advance!
