just make sure she has airy soil and you don’t overwater!!

I’ve recently been gifted one of these too! Was very scared of killing it but it’s got two new shoots after having it for about a month 🥰

The two new shoots… only just spotted the teeny shoot today when I was watering it… very excited 😀

That is exciting! I have a moss pole for and trying to decongest when to repot. I just got it a few days ago so letting it acclimate to its new space.

### nicoolcats commented on 2024-04-10

do you guys prefer plastic moss poles to keep higher humidity within the pole?

#### Joycita replied on 2024-04-13

I’ve never used a moss pole so really can’t say. However, I think the plastic ones may be better to keep it hydrated.

They’re lovely plants! Stick to the schedule \& she’ll thrive!
