I first got it I'm a florist's surprise bowl from my grandma. She relieved it as a gift at my grandma's funeral, so I'm obviously desperate to keep it alive and have it grow. It's got 3 stalks with almost no leaves and one stalk with none (the thickest stalk... go figure). I just reported it in a combo of the soil I had on hand, (sand, perlite, potting mix, cactus mix) to have something well draining and chunky as I read online, this repot is new but I've had the plant for months with no new growth. It was in plain basic potting mix before. And lives under a grow light. No root rot. Do you think this repot will help or do I need to do more? The big stalk has been working on that node nub for a month... ![2개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/6lyMEWdUC3jUhJWg8uq1bqg9q98K6Q12H2Db9P9NatI/IjTrU7ZTT52_c1O-3TiADw.webp?size=large) ![2개 중 2번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/6lyMEWdUC3jUhJWg8uq1bqg9q98K6Q12H2Db9P9NatI/lGdEO2NJSlyIiSgnB2HI7g.webp?size=large) ## 7개의 댓글 ### 🪴 Botanical Bekka🌵님이 2025-04-15에 댓글을 남겼어요. Have you fertilized it? #### TheTreeFrog님이 2025-04-15에 답변했습니다. I did a fertilizer stick 2 months ago. Put a half 1 in now and every other water uses blonde brand african violet food. Though I only started the liquid fertilizer 2 weeks ago and have watered once in between then and now. But that's the plan. ### TheTreeFrog님이 2025-04-15에 댓글을 남겼어요. I know the humidity in the house is bad if the new humidifier is accurate. But that's a wip to keep it up more. ### 🪴 Botanical Bekka🌵님이 2025-04-15에 댓글을 남겼어요. Yeah I put up a plastic zip wall between my sunroom and my kitchen and that is helped with the humidity level in my plant room so much ### 🪴 Botanical Bekka🌵님이 2025-04-15에 댓글을 남겼어요. Mine was growing tall it's about three and a half years old I'd say and I didn't want it for a minute I guess and it dropped and then I brought it back my watering it and doing it fertilizer but it's not standing up tall anymore it's more wide I'm thinking of putting lattice or something in it to help hold it up IDK what to do it's probably four plants by now 😩 ### Wolfen 🐺님이 2025-04-15에 댓글을 남겼어요. They do need regular fertilizer. But can also be sensitive to tap water. #### TheTreeFrog님이 2025-04-15에 답변했습니다. That's useful to know. I'll try doing distilled water for it and see how that goes. --- _Planta 커뮤니티 (https://getplanta.com). 누구나 읽을 수 있습니다. 게시물을 올리고, 댓글을 달고, 좋아요를 누르려면 Planta 앱을 다운로드하세요: https://getplanta.com/download_
