# Finally got my hands on one of my dream plants today! My local plant…

Finally got my hands on one of my dream plants today! My local plant shop had this one and a few others for $125, which I thought was a pretty good deal. I own mostly tropical plants, but if there’s anything I should do differently/additionally please leave any tips you have!

I don't have one, but I've heard that giving silica helps the mostly white leaves to stay healthy longer.

It does. I now give Silica to every plant. It's amazing
