# I got my Thai con back in April or so and only have gotten one new…

I got my Thai con back in April or so and only have gotten one new leaf since I’ve owned her. She put out that leaf IN MAY! 😖 It’s just about to be September and nothing… no signs at all of a new leaf. 😭

I feel you, mine is kinda like this, but I’ve had it for much longer. It grew pretty quickly at first but I’ve had it for a couple years now and it’s slowed down a lot.  
Are you giving enough light? Fertilizing?

#### Jules replied on 2025-08-31

Haven’t noticed her having issues with the lighting she gets and not fertilizing often but I’ll start and I’ll also add a trellis back to the pot again. :)

Give it time too

#### Jules replied on 2025-08-31

Just figured she would have pushed out a new leaf or three since May but nothing, but I’ll just remain patient and give food often and water as regular. :)

Mine is growing verrrrry slowly too, despite good light and fertilizer!

### Wolfen 🐺 commented on 2025-08-24

They grow slow due to several factors. But regular fertilizer and good light will help. Not the every water low dose fertilizer, or cheap fertilizer. Like a proper feed fertilizer every 2-3 weeks .

#### Jules replied on 2025-08-31

Recommended fertilizer?

#### Wolfen 🐺 replied on 2025-08-31

Personally I use instant plant food, various fox farm, or superthrive

Mine is pushing a new leaf every month. But she’s getting spoilt. She’s in the prime spot in front of a vertical grow light, she’s on a moss pole and she’s getting fertilised with every water. Improving the conditions will definitely help (I don’t know where you keep her though)
