I’d like to see how it turns out please. I just put mine in water and another in a chucks soil mix. It’s my first princess and it wasn’t cheep and mine is not looking good so I’ll see how the water does.

I’ll update soon! I put some ‘prop drops’ in the water, fingers crossed!

I just did that to mine!! It was growing so weird and I just decided to restart lol

Yeah, I just got mine about a month ago. My sister bought it for me. And as soon as I brought it home in about a week, it started to have droopy leaves and then I changed out the soil thinking that there was something wrong with that. And it just kept getting worse. So I decided to put one in a smaller pot with fresh soil and another and water. I would love to see how these turn out. Please Kristina also post how yours is coming along too.

that’s GORGEOUS! can I ask how much light you gave your PPP? I’m struggling to not burn the leaves

I use a grow light on mine for 12 hours per day and it has been very happy with that!

I have my lights on for 16 hrs a day
