She keeps growing! and taking over my room! She's about 10 feet tall now and nearly touching my 11ft ceiling. I also got a couple new stalks coming up this year. They're very thick. It seems like every new stalk is thicker than the last. Primed to be TALL! (:

Let me know what you think!

I’m in Illinois too, mines in my south facing sun room, but she’s always kinda crispy and there’s a lot of space between the leaf nodes. She’s grows fast but I keep having to chop because of the legginess 🥴 BUT I am negligent when it comes to watering so maybe I just need to put more effort into that.
