      When I think of tips nothing too particular comes too mind. I will say I don't keep this one in my brightest warmest spot. I keep it in a North bedroom with North windows and an east window so still pretty bright but I don't keep it in the living room with my tropicals and the grow lights. I let it experience the seasonal change with sunlight and cooler nights by the big window. I do have it on a heat pad which I use very occasionally for it only on the colder days or nights and never for more than a few hours but we'll see how winter goes. I have it in a shallow pot in a well draining but still fluffy mix so it holds moisture but it still drains very well and gets air. I mist often. I rotate occasionally but now that it's blooming in barely touching it! This is my second winter with it. It was a gift last Christmas. I'm really happy with this bloom it's looking great! I didn't know what to expect.

      Thank you! I also remember when it was new I didn't water as much as the app said. I try to pay attention to the soil myself and I don't just follow the app with this one, but since it's been fall and winter it has become low maintenance! Not much too do just leave alone and follow the app lol . Okay last tip and this one is real, when the conditions are right it's very obvious it puts out lots baby leaves all over the place so I can always tell when I get the lighting correct it's immediately obvious. I would start with a tropical custom soil blend in a shallow pot with filtered light never direct sun
