Wow such stunning leaves!

### Magz commented on 2025-08-14

IMO you are correct 😂🤩🪴

I want one but I’m too nervous

#### David replied on 2025-08-14

I understand! I do think once you have one you’ll find it’s not as bad :) Just keep it within 4 feet of a window, nice chunk soil 30% mix perlite, 30% potting soil, 30% orchid bark, and put it in a terracotta pot and you’ll be good to go :)

I agree!! They take forever to establish when they're little though 😭

So true! A good year or so. I’ll show you the before and after. Thankfully it already had started fenestrating but nowhere near this size. July of 2024

That's impressive!!! Gives me hope for my little guys.. Ive had two for like 3 months and no new leaves yet 😞

#### David replied on 2025-08-15

I can offer some advice if you’d like? Do you have a picture of the setup?

#### Rach replied on 2025-08-15

Yes please! She was started from a cutting about 3 months ago in soil. The second leaf turned yellow and died right away, but this big leaf is doing well. She sits in a warm, east facing window (the house next to us keeps us from direct sunlight) and I water like once every 2 weeks. She's due for a repot because her pot is too big and the soil is infested with something. Her roots are doing ok too.
