Glad to hear I'm not alone! (although I'm sorry the problem plagues you too lol)

Hopefully that means that unidentified mat is indeed an Ice Cream

The annoying thing with my *hopeful* Ice Creams is that many of them grow slightly off-vertical so that when they do bear bunches they end up slowly leaning further and further over the course of months till they fall. I wonder if propping the plants as they grow to force them straight up might solve the problem?


Also, thanks very much for your help in id'ing the plant. I appreciate the mental work, head scratching, and visual comparison you and other growers put in to help us newbies find out whatever it is that we're trying to keep alive
