I know it's just like everything else, it's an acquired skill - just like, honestly it took me a while to learn how to properly water a plant. I mean, I still don't half the time, but I KNOW how to. It took me a few tries to learn how to cook, how to drive a stick shift - driving itself I learned from an arcade game called Cruisin' USA in college. But at the moment, I'd just like to say.... I hate plastic grow bags.

Anyway, after 2+ years of living here, and carrying around a giant tote full of die cast cars, move after move after move, I finally pulled them out and started throwing them on eBay. I don't know if I'm allowed to advertise that on here or not, I'm waiting to hear back from a moderator. But anyway I now have a big giant tub I can properly store soil and whatnot in with a lid that closes and seals and I promptly filled it with a cu ft of coir and perlite I forgot I ordered. 

So I figured I'd bring this guy with me. I'm literally hearing cracking noises at night from the old 2 liter bottle barely able to contain him. So this little pot is like a bandaid on a gunshot wound, really, but it gives him more room to spread out at least a little bit.

This thing actually kinda scares me at the thought of how big it can get. It's still flushing single fronds, but they're freaking huge, and I absolutely positively undoubtedly unequivocally am not going to ship a plant this large again. No. If anybody wants it they can drive up here and get it. I think @Scott W said fully grown they're like 8-12 feet in diameter? It's gotta be 4 feet across now. 

 

Anyway for the Aussies out there, I forgot I had this. A buddy of mine films car show footage. For the younger members, he used to make and sell these things called "DVD's," and we would watch them on DVD players which we connected to these old televisions with gigantic backs to them that weighed a ton. So my buddy flew to Australia for a show in like, I dunno 2010 or 2012 and brought me back a couple of t shirts and this new wall art.

Now he's on YouTube at GrinderTv and TheGoudeLife - if you're into taking a perfectly usable truck and cutting it apart just to make it lay flat on the ground, rendering it completely useless, it's endless entertainment.
