# Hey y’all! I just got my second Thai constellation after my first one…

_Posted by Darian on 2025-03-18_

Hey y’all!  
I just got my second Thai constellation after my first one didn’t do so well I wanna give it another go, but I’m really nervous about this one. Does anyone have a list of dues and don’ts for these seemingly sensitive plants?

Note I just repotted about 6 days ago

Thais are sensitive to root rot, they need a chunky, well draining soil. Don’t let it sit in water

The main way people kill these plants is by loving them to death. A little neglect can go a long way.

They tend to do best (like so many plants) with bright, indirect light. They can handle pretty bright and do well with grow lights or within a couple feet of a window. (This means in front of the window, not off to the side. If the plant wouldn’t be able to see the sky from where it sits and it doesn’t have a grow light then re-adjust.) if your Thai has been in darker conditions for a while, consider moving it a few feet closer to a window each week until it gets there so it has time to adjust.

Water when it dries out completely and don’t leave in sitting water.

Also agree with the other commenter: it will do best with a chunkier, well-draining soil mix if it isn’t already in one. You don’t need to swap it right away, but this will give you faster growth and helps protect against over-watering.

I would also recommend a clear pot so you can keep an eye on her roots!
