Same here! I have a very soft (lulz) spot on my heart for these guys. I generally am pretty good but sometimes my depression gets the better of me

These generally are the last stragglers hanging on, making me feel guilty. But that just is an attestation to the amazingness of this plant. I’m rebuilding my plant collection again slowly and am waiting to get another one until I’ve repotted a couple suffering (from the nursery) plants

But they have such personality. Especially since they can live so long and reward your care with beautiful flowers

The leaves and spirals are springy. Errr… I have snapped a couple leaves early on; there’s two you can see in the pics. They have a bit of give but are very tender

The leaves themselves are reminiscent of airplants where they seem to have very fine scales or hairs along the stem that gives them a matte appearance and I have definitely noticed some disturbance where I’ve been a little rough or had some contaminate on my fingers

I just took the video, hopefully it works. Just me pulling on the spirals

That is incredible! I may have seen that before on another site. Do you have that yourself?

And it is very grabby. I’ve been having to untangle its spirals as they’re tightening up

It doesn’t have a name yet 🤔 I do like that

Yeah, thank you! I don’t think I’ve ever posted on lemmy before because I didn’t have anything to share until now. Just needed to spread my excitement!
