Wow, if you cut off 10" already that must be one enormous leaf!

The plant may have been left too close to a cold window the last time we cleaned the house. I know the coffee table was empty for a while because DH cleaned it with Murphys and oiled it. I guess we will have to be more careful about where we leave it during temporary relocations.

I figured the new pot would be good for streps because it's 6" wide but only 2.5" deep. When I repotted, the roots from the old pots went all the way to the bottom of the new pot. I'm not sure where I bought it; it was in my shed for a long time. I think I've seen them labeled as fern pots at the garden center.

Okay, one more gratuitous strep photo. This is 'Cherry Pie'.
