Does anybody have any tips for philo. Mamei, I’ve had mine for a few months now and she’s growing quickly but the leaves aren’t dark or silver at all they’re always this like green ?? She’s had a repot and is in a nice chunky aroid mix and gets watered when a lost dry.

Looks like maybe not enough sunlight

#### Tom replied on 2023-07-22

She’s in a super bright indirect sunlight windowsill?

Hmm that’s a tough one then. How often do you fertilize?

#### Tom replied on 2023-07-23

Every few waterings I use an organic seaweed fertiliser

Check the npk level of your fertilizer your plant could be lacking in essential nutrients you’ll see numbers on your fertilizer like this 1-2-1 always has 3 numbers, I recently realized the fertilizer I was using was not good

#### Tom replied on 2023-07-23

Oh right okay I use a very basic one so it could be that, have u got any good recommendations fertiliser wise ??

#### Rikkay replied on 2023-07-24

I use easy peasy indoor plant food I got it off of Amazon it’s a 4-3-4, I just started using it but it was recommended to me by my friend who has like 100 plants they’re all thriving
