_Posted by Onyx! on 2025-09-04_

Hi everyone! New plant mama here and I saved her and her sister from Target about a week ago. I checked again today (i try no to bother them too much) and my little girl is growing 🥹! So excited for their journey! Thank you for letting me share!

Any tips and tricks greatly appreciated! Been researching until I’m blue in the face. So proud of them already!

I let mine dry out about half way before I water mine. They get root rot easily. Also when I repot I don't mess with the roots, water before I repot and then wait a day to water just a little. I get less leaves dying when I do it that way. I love all of mine. Most of them grow so quick and I love the different of colors.

Thank you so much!!! For your soil do you use a special or specific blend? She’s gotten soooooo leggy already and I know I’m gonna have to repot her very very soon
