Thanks... but the job isn't done, yet. I don't know if it will root so I can separate them. And not sure how long to leave it either. I will wait till spring at least.

If I got the picture right, it started growing at one (right) pot, then leaned over and continued in another? If so, I'm 99.99% sure that part at flowering pot has roots. If its vice - versa.. I have no clue :)

You are partially right. It started growing in the pot at the right. I don't think it is growing/rooting in the second pot just yet. But it grew long and leaves kept falling off. Maybe lack of light, I don't know for sure. I tried to just let it root back into that pot with no luck. Then I decided to have a second pot with new soil. I submerged that long stem into a new pot and would like it to take root. Somehow from what I have observed, roots won't just grow at any point like most plants. But the new portion does look less elongated and it is flowering for the second time this season. :smile: It's not actually working the way most plants would. The hard part now is to figure out how much to water. And, of course, it's coming into winter when I cut back on all watering. :???: Interestingly, it will take a lot of abuse and lack of water. It will "take a lot of licking and still keep ticking..."

Heh, I've just realized I have one of them too, just coahuilense. They seem to be wanderers, had to wrap mine inside the pot because it leaned itself over two near pots.

I have given mine as much sun as I can and it has had plenty of heat with a fan circulating air all spring, summer and now fall. I think that has kept it from stretching.

This plant was from seeds I got from you, Aiko, back in 2013.

I already thought it was!

You can always cut off the elongated growth above the soil, if you don't like it.

What I would like is for it to root at the stem but I won't bother it now till spring to if that has happened.
