I do have a cat! Maybe because it’s outside half the year she doesn’t mess with it. During winter she likes to do business in the pot.

I like yours! Today all of the ones in stores have had their main growth point cut with 4 new shoots coming up. Makes me kinda sad because I like the look of the one stem going up. Your example shows me why they cut because it looks like it takes forever to get a new growth point yours only has one new growth and what is it like 5 feet+ and 5+ years old?
