# My beautiful Thai Con. Got her in December last year, she was only as…

My beautiful Thai Con. Got her in December last year, she was only as high as the 2 bottom leaves. Now look at her. And another leaf on the way.  
I decided early on I wanted all leaves facing the same way, so I have been training her since I got her.

Wow she’s beautiful! How do you best care for her? I just bought mine and she’s not doing great leaves curling in. I think humidity is a factor besides adjusting to her new home! All tips welcome!

I don't have a humidifier. So my more "diva" plants are huddled together for humidity. I watered her maybe oncr every 2 weeks during winter and now in spring i will do the chopstick test. Stab a chopstick down into the soil. If it comes out dry, water her. I did read somewhere Thai cons dont like as much water as the other monsteras. They also like being a bit tight in the pot. Other than that I face her to the light the way I want her to grow (which mean i alway see her back haha). Avoid direct sun light. The leaves on yours do seem bigger than mine. Maybe the weight of them is folding them. I hope this helps. I really haven't done much to mine. I think getting plants from a good source is sometimes important. Some places just set you up to fail when you buy feom them.
