Just wanted to show you guys my pretty frydek. I was actually almost killing her because I totally took on a plant I didn’t know how to care for … but I’ve been giving her lots of tlc and now she keeps giving me new growth! 😁

    Ok what’s your secret? I can only get mine to keep 2-3 leaves at a time…

      I make sure she gets enough light during the day at least 10-12 hours if you have yours by the window use a grow light in the evening for another 4 hours especially in winter. Soil should be moist. Mine doesn’t like getting too dry so I keep her moist.. I turn the humidifier every other day I don’t like it everyday because I keep them on for a good 4-5 hours. I also fertilize once a month ..

    I want to know how you keep them alive because I killed my first one and just bought one yesterday.

      So they do acclimate and that tends to stress them at least that was happening to mine when I first got her she just kept dropping leaves … once you have a spot for her keep it and try not to move her much… humidity is key for them they love it. I set mine up every other day for 4-5 hours a day usually in the evening that’s when my house is driest. I’d recommend getting a humidity meter to check .. you can get them on amazon. Fertilizer once a month and keep their soil moist .. water every 2 weeks I don’t let the soil dry all the way I keep it moist. I’ve learned a grow light also helps a lot make sure it’s full spectrum
