Well, no wonder I've been having a hard time keeping this drama queen from drying out too much. She's easily tripled in size I'd guess since I got her in August 😳 Glad it was 80 degrees out today so repotting her was easy. #calatheacrew #ctenanthe #rootporn #rootbound #repotseason #texasgreggang

Oh wow! Good thing you checked her roots 😳
I hope she will be happy with a upgrade ☺️πŸͺ΄
@RelentlessZebra August of what year? lol. That’s pretty fast growth there.
@TexanExpat August 2023!
@TexanExpat here's when I first got her for my bday 😳
@RelentlessZebra I have been growing plants now for about four years and it has been my observation that a particular plant οΏΌ exceptional vigor, and explosive growth. Last year I started buying different kinds of philodendron towards the beginning of the year, and as I look back some of the ones that are generally the fastest grower is hardly grew at all or lagged behind some of the ones I wasn’t expecting to grow, and while there may be, you know majority of them that fall within a normal range of expected growth, there are the outliers my philodendron. McDowell is example. Here’s a picture of it when I got it you know less than a year ago or around that time and a recent one although it’s grown even bigger since this. It went from the 6 inch pot, and I probably could’ve potted it in a 16 or 20 inch planner Residency to spend money on another large planter. Do you find this to be the case with your plants too? And do you think this is an example of that I’ve never really had them grow all that fast or maybe I just haven’t had enough to have an accurate assessment of their growth potential within a baseline range.
