Hi guys,

Saw this fella with fasciation in my local plant shop.

Will be turned into a bonchi for the winter

First I've heard of bonchis. New project incoming.

I have created this effect in the past, by abrading the stems, and clamping the cluster, until they grow together. Once, I had a braided plant that naturally fused with no abrading. But this one looks more like an accident.

Ha yeah, I've tried that too. The three stems never really fused tho. This is more like a genetic accident indeed

D'you have pictures of those abraded and natural one? I'm curious!

You can't due to the ExIF data stored by the camera. Is yours an iPhone or ANDROID? There a few other work arounds before posting.>Why iPhone pictures flip when emailed, and how to fix it

It's actually a Canon DSLR haha. Next time I'll just take pics with my Samsung, should be fine then. Thanks!

So I am REALLY bad about not taking enough photos... I only have a pic right now of the stems when I first braided them.

Surprisingly, they grew very consistently. Eventually, they grew together. If I still have the carcass of that one, I'll snap a pic tomorrow. I just threw it on the pile about 2 months ago.
