What fertilizer are you using? This is the 3rd progress post I’ve seen of yours and your plants are absolutely gorgeous!

for the past year I’ve just been using the houseplant hero liquid fertilizer but today I started using the fox farm big bloom liquid fertilizer!!

how do you get it so full?

#### Tellie replied on 2024-02-06

😂🤷🏽‍♀️ idk. It just started growing like that. It got super tall and when we repotted it. The top snapped off. Never grew tall again but did this. I just fertilize once a month. It’s also outside. Full sun. 🌞

Oh my goodness the leaves are so glossy! Wow, I wish mine was like that! My umbrella tree hit a rough patch, so I had to trim back his dead leaves, so he was bare for a while. But, I just found some baby leaves and they look adorable! I want mine to look like that!
