This one has been left to it’s own devices for too long. Time to get some shaping in.
The before shot shows this has been left to grow unimpeded. To be honest, I’ve been enjoying the heavy and rich pads down below, given that previously they’d be getting a little anemic. But the shoots are just too long, and the pads are getting thick enough that they brown on the bottom.
Let’s get some close ups of those pads:
Taking a closer look at those branches made me think about trying to create some clearer layers in the pads. So I cleaner them out and wired them up.
This took a surprising amount of time, and I did a lot more wiring than I expected. But it did get done.
I kind of bottled on the top….
And, as according to ancient tradition, the cuttings.
