Oh Alice that was a good catch!! Thumbs up about the pot.

First, get it out of the decorative pot. Either grow it in a clay or a plastic pot with adequate drainage holes. NOT within a pot within another pot! This leads to watering issues. When you water it stays too wet and rots roots. It blocks drainage and air movement.
