I cut my thaumatophyllum down and flew it across the country
It's bouncing back no problem! I'm so proud of this plant!
The plant had been battling mites so it was kind of a last ditch effort - I couldn't pass him to someone else in that condition but I couldn't bear to throw it out. I cut all the leaves off, got rid of all the soil and washed everything that remained. Then I wrapped it in damp paper towel, and stuck the clean rootball and stump into a ziplock bag. From there it went into a suitcase with a bunch of similarly treated plants, and endured a flight in checked luggage, and over two weeks in the baggy on a windowsill. He put out the grumpy little Venus flytrap leaf during that period. Now he's potted and soaking up the rays in his new home, rapidly pumping out leaves. It's only been two months!
