# I have tried twice with this plant and it’s been a 👎 (lemon button)…

_Posted by Bodhi\_PlantMama on 2024-01-05_

I have tried twice with this plant and it’s been a 👎 (lemon button)  
I think this one needs more humidity.. but I feel like I cannot find the right lighting needed.  
I am also wondering how to revive it and become bushier.  
I did not repot this plant when I got it.  
Help 😭

i have one of these and it’s thriving on a shady window sill. the humidity in my house is normal and i don’t mist or anything 😊 they do require more frequent watering than my other plants, tho
