It was in good health and purchased from a reputable rare plant dealer. Since then it has grown quite a bit and I’ve been watering and misting it regularly (more or less as often as planta suggests for my plant). Over the last few weeks I’ve had new leaves sprouting pretty quickly. They are much larger than the leaves present before them and the top one is much taller. They appear to be healthy. My concern is with the older leaves that are smaller and further towards the base of the plant. As the newer, larger leaves have grown, they started slowly turning lighter green and eventually yellow. I’m wondering whether this is normal? Ive read that this can happen as new leaves grow because the plant is using more of its energy on producing the new leaves. I’m in Michigan and the natural light has been less than ideal seeing as that it’s winter. I’m considering giving it some artificial light but I’m wondering whether I can prevent this? I’m scheduled to refertilize her in a month or two and as far as I can tell there are no signs of pests. Please feel free to let me know if this is anything I should be concerned about. Thank you all in advance. ![4개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/VI2rawqjSCWOHZ59YNh7SmeHrY4Wuq8nQ3mC5IeJFt4/0VZOmJD3RXGPMrx5Dy1dag.webp?size=large) ![4개 중 2번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/VI2rawqjSCWOHZ59YNh7SmeHrY4Wuq8nQ3mC5IeJFt4/ZJIhp91fTHmLIfDQNyypwQ.webp?size=large) ![4개 중 3번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/VI2rawqjSCWOHZ59YNh7SmeHrY4Wuq8nQ3mC5IeJFt4/bj4xQD1rQCyyNSmnaZYDiA.webp?size=large) ![4개 중 4번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/VI2rawqjSCWOHZ59YNh7SmeHrY4Wuq8nQ3mC5IeJFt4/iwFJZD4TTUCTYs1g47irEA.webp?size=large) ## 2개의 댓글 ### DannyDan님이 2024-02-19에 댓글을 남겼어요. Truth be told I only check the soil maybe once every other watering. I just use my finger and make sure it’s not moist a couple of inches down. I wasn’t the one who potted this plant but it’s a very well draining medium. I believe it’s orchid bark, perlite, and what I assume is a bit of potting soil. And as I mentioned, the plant is growing new leaves. We have a new offshoot coming in again as we speak. I’ll add a picture. I also notice that this plant actually forms water droplets on the edges of its leaves. It does so almost constantly, even when we’re close to watering day. I don’t know if this is a sign she’s well hydrated or not. ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/VI2rawqjSCWOHZ59YNh7SmeHrY4Wuq8nQ3mC5IeJFt4/RxpQT_tZSvavzh_2l6Bj4A.webp?size=large) #### DannyDan님이 2024-02-19에 답변했습니다. ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/VI2rawqjSCWOHZ59YNh7SmeHrY4Wuq8nQ3mC5IeJFt4/bDhOrZNGQse6DLp3T09fFQ.webp?size=large) --- _Planta 커뮤니티 (https://getplanta.com). 누구나 읽을 수 있습니다. 게시물을 올리고, 댓글을 달고, 좋아요를 누르려면 Planta 앱을 다운로드하세요: https://getplanta.com/download_
