# Just looking to get some opinions on my Bambino. To me she looks…

_Posted by Maddi on 2025-09-03_

Just looking to get some opinions on my Bambino. To me she looks wilty and also has a ton of growth now.

Still in the original nursing pot. I don’t know if I should repot with some chunkier soil ? The roots are not really coming out yet but she just doesn’t look super happy right now and her soil has been taking kind of a while to dry out.

Any pointers would be appreciated as I’m pretty new to the having a green thumb thing.

Looks like she may be reaching for more sunlight, how far is she from the window?

Oh that definitely could be it! About 5 feet from an east facing window. So it gets lots of nice morning indirect light but less in the afternoon and evening! But I have a grow light I could use
