Whatever you do, DONT MESS WITH THE ROOTS.

If you plan on repotting, only up pot it. I killed my last one during repot 😭😭😭 yours is beautiful tho!!

I’ve had three blooming in my kitchen like crazy since Christmas. They’re just now winding down. After blooming you can let it dry out for 2-3 months so it goes dormant then at the end of summer start watering it a bit until the green growth starts coming back. That way you’ll have a blooming flower during the winter months.

PS I wouldn’t repot either…just put it in a nice cover pot if you want. They’re happy in their original nursery pot.

Wow I didn’t know this! I’m searching for info on these as recently got one and hear they’re pretty tricky. I’m not used to flowering plants
