# My dad gifted me this plant for my birthday and is from the grocery…

_Posted by Planta member on 2024-02-16_

My dad gifted me this plant for my birthday and is from the grocery store, it’s been a month and she kept blooming for 3 weeks or so, I haven’t repotted but I noticed there are a lot of new leaves in the bottom. Can you guys help me? I don’t know if is better to upsize the pot or what type of soil to get, neither fertilizers… thank you for any suggestions!! I had 3 years since last seen my dad because we live in different countries so it is special for me. I live in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania for context, it is winter now but not too cold she really liked that location more than other places I also don’t know if it helps to take her out for summer or spring

I think a slightly bigger pot might be good but this family of plant have a pretty quick leaf turnover, at least mine does, so I wouldn’t worry. Checking the roots to see how cramped they are is your best indicator. For mine, I just use a general houseplant fertiliser but I’m sure there are better ones out there.
