Latest addition to my plant family… have wanted one for so long and while it’s my birthday in a couple of days it seemed like a perfect excuse hehe. Any tips on how best to care for my new baby are welcome 🥰

So it’s currently in my lounge which has a south window and a west facing window (uk)…. Plenty of sun comes in but she’s on a coffee table out of the reach of direct light (almost in the middle of the room)… I’d this was bright enough, further away and Planta tells me it’s placed too dark 🤦🏼‍♀️. Fingers crossed I’ve got it right but I’m on the fence for now… eeek I’m ’praying’ I’m onto a winner 😂

Do not water with tap water. Water with distilled or filtered water.

Yes I’ve just read about this. Thankfully I have other plants that are this fussy so I have rain water bottled already. Thank you!! X
