I've only had mine for a few months but it's absolutely thriving behind a sure curtain in my west facing window and my sunroom that has a humidity level right now in the mid-70s because it's warming up, and mine loves to be misted often although I'm sure that's not great because of the fungal things but it loves it IDK 🤷‍♀️🏵️ I hope your poor baby comes back quickly probably some fertilizer would be good too maybe switch out the soil I don't know I'm definitely no expert I'm here learning myself

I got mine on clearance last year and took her to work. I think because she’s next to a diffuser, she’s doing great.

I repotted it as soon as I brought it home and fertilized it. Hopefully she gets better. I will definitely start misting her consistently and see what happens!

I don't have clearance racks anywhere I've ever seen I'm jealous that everybody else has them LOL that's cool

Look at Lowe’s hardware store. They have indoor and outdoor clearance plants. That’s where I buy mine.

Grow light and super thrive. Literally a DROP in 8oz water. It has to be super diluted.
