Hey! New owner of FLF, three days ago when I brought it home it was beautiful and shiny. I have it in full sun, it was watered the day I took it home and haven’t watered since. Bottom of pot still has moist soil. Top layer dry. What is going on here? Too much sun? Temperature? Humidity? I know these guys are fickle, I didn’t think it would be unhappy THIS fast.
Was it exposed to any weather under 45°? It’s only supposed to be in part sun, not full sun
0개 좋아요 Well it’s winter where I am. So -25C to -30C when I walked to the vehicle from the store..?

0개 좋아요 Moving it around can cause stress to a sensitive plant, which this is. It does require high humidity so you might want to set a humidifier next to it. Find a good, warm, partial sun spot and leave it there. ❤️

I would give it several weeks to adjust to its new home before treating any possible issues. It’ll take a while to settle in.. then you can better assess what was moving trauma and what’s an ongoing issue that needs to be addressed. 👍🏼🌿 (also, in my experience with FLF’s, your bright sun is the best option for these buddies)

I have mine about 2 feet away from a south facing window. The best advice I ever got about FLF is find a spot and leave it alone. They don’t like to be moved around a lot.
