Update on my fat plant. At the end of the summer it looked pretty bad. Most of the foliage had died back which was much too early. I decided to get it out of the pot, which was getting tight anyway, and switch it to s/h. I didn't have a huge container and realized I needed to set some limits on the container size. So I switched it into this 8 qt size. Its sort of a tight fit for the caudex but the roots had plenty of room. The roots btw were nice and healthy. It must have signed a big one with relief because the plant almost immediately put out a bunch of new growth and I am seeing a few flower buds. It is getting too cold to leave it out much longer but it certainly made a heartening come back!
