Don’t over water. Thin those out into their own 2” pots before the roots get tangled. Get them acclimated to sitting in full sun, southern or western exposure. Fertilize at least once a month.

The photo shows my little plant in a 3” pot on arrival with sun stressed leaves in 2023. The right is last fall. It’s as wide as a dinner plate sharing a big pot. 🪴🍀
