This kin has been growing off the 1379 hoelke plant that i lost the kin early August from , i left it growing to keep weeds down in that spot and so i could check the roots out later, i havent watered or fertilized this plant since end of July, i measured it today for the first time because we got 2 1/2 inches of rain this weekend and it took a noticeable jump in size,it has powdery mildew because i didnt look after it. Otherwise the plant looks good.
