# I have had this little white wizard starter plant (x2) since May…

_Posted by Madderdebs on 2023-07-02_

I have had this little white wizard starter plant (x2) since May 12th. Are they very slow growers or am I doing something wrong? Maybe the pot is too big and they’re scared to branch out? I fertilize according to Planta schedule.. water accordingly as well if my meter agrees. All my windows have indirect light so for part of the day I turn on my version of grow lights (grow light bulbs in table lamps) … any wizardry advice!

They look happy so they might be slow growers in general. But I would feed them a little bit.

They look gorgeous! They're typically slow growers, so, as long as they have the right stuff, I would say just give them some more time!

My pink princess has been the same way 😩😩😩 I’m not sure what’s going on other than it’s slow. Trying to get used to its home. My polka dot begonia was the same way. Also didn’t like the water. I switched to filtered water. Bottled water or from the fridge..

I find that philodendrons prefer pretty small pots relative to their size. They also seem to halt leaf growth while the roots establish

I just moved it to a smaller pot.. I shall see if that helps..
