That’s very pretty. There’s probably a lot of soil in that pot, but sure you can make it all work 🤙

that might too much soil & too big of a pot.. did you personally repot it and see how the roots looked?

Too big of a pot and too much soil. I have a huge one and the pot is smaller than yours. Also don’t know how your support gonna work once it reaches the top like how would you even extend it.
You ideally never want a pot more than 33-50% larger than your plants’ roots. So #1, pot too large. It won’t dry out fast enough and will lead to wet spots, dry spots, air holes, and potentially rot.
2-You’ve tied around the petioles and new growth points. Both places I see ties should be about 1 inch lower on the stem.
3-The majority of houseplants prefer to be pruned or outgrow their pots, I can’t see that ever happening here.
So yeah, definitely will need some work for this plant to be happy. But it does look epic.

Looks awesome

If you can water properly, pot size doesn’t matter. Change my mind.
Looks great, and cool idea with the wood. I would tie it in such a way that it allows the stem to thicken still, not so tightly against the wood.

Agreed about being careful with the soil… but, this is gonna look really lovely. Great choice of plant support

My adonsonii have survived anything. And I definitely love the idea of the driftwood. I’m stealing it.

To fix the issue of too much soil you could put in a false bottom. Some rocks in the bottom of the pot + a plastic water catch tray on top of that (add some holes for drainage first) would work.
This looks sick, I wanna make one!

That deserves a nicer pot! Great effort. Plenty of sun and love.

Very deep pot but I absolutely love the wood.
How are you preventing the wood from rotting?
If that’s what you want
