# Hi everyone! 👋🌱 I’m back again with another question, I’m a total…

Hi everyone! 👋🌱

I’m back again with another question, I’m a total newbie when it comes to caring for houseplants, but after all the amazing feedback on my last post, I’ve repotted my mini Swiss cheese into a much better mixed substrate that actually supports drainage properly. 🙌

I’ve attached a photo of her below she’s looking cute, but I’d really appreciate any tips or advice on how to keep this plant happy long-term.  
Things like watering habits, light preferences, humidity, fertilising… anything at all you think a beginner should know!

Thank you again to everyone who helped me on my previous post you were all so kind, and I’m genuinely loving learning from this community. 💚

Looking forward to your tips!

They love to climb upwards. A moss pole or trellis is good. It likes bright indirect light or some east facing sunshine. Water when its almost all the way dry.

Thank you so much! 🙌  
I didn’t realise they preferred to climb, so a moss pole or trellis is definitely going on my shopping list. I’ve got mine in bright indirect light at the moment, so it’s good to know that’s the right area for it and I’ll make sure to let it almost fully dry before watering.

Really appreciate the advice! 🌱💚
