Took me a while to work out how to get the pictures in too :lol: make sure you press the press the put in line button after you upload them. I'm sure one of the mods will be able to help as well.

Is that a cut down pot you have it in ? I would stick it back in the ground and grow it taller and thicker before I did anything with it in a pot. It will grow much faster in the ground :idea: Better off posting the photos here rather than from another site - they are here forever then :tu:
