I have one! It’s a Chinese Evergreen. It’s fairly easy to take care of. Mine is in southwest facing window so in the morning it gets sun and in the afternoon it gets shade. I usually water it when the app tells me which has been working out for me.

Thank you! Should I take the moss or brown gray stuff that’s on top of the soil out or leave it?

#### TinyWeed replied on 2024-07-24

I don’t know. Mine doesn’t have any on it and it seems to thrive.  
It would probably help to see the soil for watering, so personally I would take it off but you can do what you want.

Chinese evergreen, silver bay. Mine is in a bathroom in a terracotta pot and is thriving in low light.
