    One of the cuttings popped open a bloom today.

    There's a ton of great new growth starting to show on the mama.

    How is your grand old plant doing, John? Here's an update on my pruned one.

    From farther back. It's not sticking up past the Callisia much again yet, but it's only been a few months.

    There's also a few pieces of Kalanchoe blossfeldiana in there.



    Edited 8/14/14 to add new pic, sticking up past the Callisia pretty well now.
