Wouldn’t necessarily say I’m an aficionado yet but I am encouraged by this beauty.

I was too and mine is still going. 😂 idk how though. Because I don’t water it constantly.

What % of the soil do you let dry out before watering again? I think I’m underwatering because I’m getting brown on the tips. 😞 I may change the soil he’s in too…it too aroid and dries out too fast. I’ve also added a humidifier to my room.

Doesn’t need as much water as I thought it would. I use a moisture meter, humidify it for 4 hrs a day and have it by a window and grow light. So far so good!
