Why thank ya @columbiariver 😊

Did some research and gonna try the aluminum foil tape method that has been used to treat and seal bonsai cuts. #workinprogress (11-21-2022) https://happybonsai.com/blog/2011/07/13/sealing-cuts-bonsai-tree-aluminum-foil/

It was either this or the spray pruning seal for trees @gjones 🤞🤞

This was caused by me trying to remove a dead leaf/limb. Caused an infection but it still continues to thrive. It's been like this for months... Applied some cinnamon

Ouch!

I know right @emch I had no idea pulling off a dead leaf would do that. 😳 Learned my lesson

😬😲

This was news to me, too, @txgardener -- maybe the leaf wasn't quite dead enough?

I hope so too @gjones it's a cool plant

Pretty, and the red is fab!

I was so jelly when @cowdenkyle and @treefrog44 would post pics of theirs in bloom, so i was stoked to see those little red buds forming. @lesliecole49.

They are awesome little flowers. Maybe you'll even get some seeds👍

They are @cowdenkyle . I hope so 🤞

😍 gorgeous

Thank a lot @dadayba

Love the veining on the leaf. Very pretty 💚😍

Thanks Diane @hkyfvr 😊

Most welcome 😍💖

Wow! That's a beautiful green! 💚 Mine doesn't look like that 😣

Mine are about the size of urs @treefrog44 . Mine produce two set of leaves then die. Repeat. I have mine under grow lights. Bout to put them outside. How are u growing these bulbous beauties?

@txgardener in a pot outside morning sun, afternoon shade. If there is a frost warning I bring it inside our screened back porch. It's outside mostly all year 😉

Why is it called that?

I call it Buddha Belly Plant, way cuter then Gout Plant @heatherdirtyhands
