This is Figgy, my fiddleleaf ficus. I got it about two years ago at 12" tall, now it's about 4' tall and is going to be the centrepiece of my dining room until the elephant ear matures.

    Figgy is a king and your pachira is looking good.

    My apartment balcony has a "Mystery Corner" that sometimes gives me new plants when it rains. Because it's right under the roof, random seeds and spores get washed into any pot you leave there. So far I've been given:

    -Two thin, twiggy sprouts with white flowers and many small leaves

    -A tobacco plant that's now like 4 feet tall

    -A big leafy stalk with broad leaves and purple flower cones that turned out to be an uncommon sage called Salvia Polystachya

    But my crowning plant, my most beautiful boi, is the tiny, 5 inch tall Australian bottle tree I bought for $5 and is now triple in size. One day it will be planted in whatever ground I live on.
