I’m hoping to see if I can find more at an upcoming PlantExpo, it’s so cute, the leaves are so interesting

### Plant Dad commented on 2026-04-09

Well yet another plant I have never heard of that made it to my plant list

#### Ria replied on 2026-04-09

There’s such little information online about it. I found really informative YouTube video but that’s it. Hoping to really track and document its progress while it grows 😊

Do you have yoirs in a self watering planter? Big fan of self watering planters and this seems like a great candidate for one.

#### Ria replied on 2026-04-09

For this one, not yet. For most of my plants, I tend to manually water, let it mostly drain and have it hover in a decorative pot that has some water on the bottom and that’s worked pretty well for me.

### Plant Dad commented on 2026-04-09

I respect that. Its kind of fun watering them manually too. I don't have a preference but definitely notice a big difference in certain plants when I put them in a self waterer.

My baby alocasia’s and corms are in self watering pots, but I still do a weekly top watering and swap the water out when I do my plant chores 😚
