# Hello! On a scale of 1-10 (1 being beginner plant owner, 10 being…

_Posted by Maria Pan on 2024-03-14_

Hello! On a scale of 1-10 (1 being beginner plant owner, 10 being expert), I’m about a 2. I bought this Cracklin’ Rosie 12/29 (nursery potted it for me); pic on table is soon after taking her home. She’s being doing really well, besides the choppy leaf, considering my level, and compared to my other plants—I just want some advice. She’s growing like crazy and I haven’t fertilized her yet, I’m scared of interrupting her groove. But now that it’s spring, will I be able to see some flowers?

Also, I had her in almost full sun outside lately but moved her to a shadier spot because her leaves were getting a bit crispy as shown in first two pics. I try to mist twice a day.

She’s one of my only real successes so far and she’s so beautiful, I’d appreciate any support!

Definitely keep it up in part sun. The recommended fertilizer schedule for this plant is once every 2 weeks. Keep up the good work!
