# Ticked a dream plant off the list today. 🤩. She is a little sparse…

_Posted by Josie on 2024-04-27_

Ticked a dream plant off the list today. 🤩. She is a little sparse because of having some bad leaves probably due to overwatering from the self watering pots from costsa farms plants. I trimmed up some leaves, washed off the old soil, peroxide mix sprayed the roots in case of root rot and repotted in a slightly smaller pot with fresh well draining soil and new plant support stakes. She looks pretty dang good for $5. I hope she starts thriving in my care. 🥰

I love mine!! She is very rewarding. Always putting out new leaves. 💚

This girl has several healthy new leaves so there’s plenty of hope for a great recovery. 😊

I put mine on a pebble tray as soon as I got mine home. She has been happy ever since. Just a suggestion. Good luck. She is beautiful!

Thank you, I have a humidifier in the room because I have several begonias and other house plants so I’m betting she’ll love it.
