# Gwen started life as a cutting from my Mom’s 45+ year old plant. She…

Gwen started life as a cutting from my Mom’s 45+ year old plant. She grew roots in water that then formed secondary roots. This soil kick has lasted for about 2 weeks, so far. Is there anything I should be doing at this stage to promote new growth!?

Light and fertilizing every other watering to keep her fed.

Perfect, that’s about how I’ve been doing things thus far!
