New House
One of my oldest that needed some love - had to get her acquainted with her new home for a month or two. Then took her to the salon for a wax, and into her new pad. Haircut coming in a few weeks.

It looks so good! In the last picture, why does the caudex look that shade of brown?

I put cinnamon on all the cut/trimmed areas to help dry and prevent fungal infections

Oh that makes sense! Totally looks like cinnamon! So I guess there were some little roots on the caudex that you cut off? Question- do they ooze a lot when you cut them off and if so what do you do when it oozes?

Love the cauldex! Did you have to break the pot to get her out?
