# Saved this beauty from serious root-bound and put it in the longest…

_Posted by Trespence on 2025-02-26_

Saved this beauty from serious root-bound and put it in the longest thing I could find so he can crawl. He’s in east facing window and there are grow lights in the room but not “on” him. He’s pouting.

Anyone have a similar issue?

For those interested .. proper soil, east facing sun and light fertilizer brought him back 💕
