Good thing I already had to go buy more soil and perlite at Lowe’s today, I’m glad I’m not the only one who’s found cuprea at Publix.

I couldn't believe how big it was😁

Did yours come in that red pot? I’m jealous of that pot, I love the deep color. I have to split mine up as it’s two individuals and my friend wanted half

It came in a white one like in your picture. I repotted it in a Dexceder planter and moved it to pon. Everything indoors is in leca or pon and is self watering. It's a bit of an expense but it's easier to monitor the reservoirs.

We didn’t find any dragon scales or silver dragons but we did find an almost 5 foot tall regal shield. I have no clue where we are putting it as it’s now our largest plant (excluding our fruits outside) but it’s beautiful
