I would only add more dirt or repot if the roots are showing at the bottom. Otherwise she looks content and healthy!! 😊🪴

You mean at the bottom of the pot correct?

#### Choc replied on 2023-07-06

Thank you as well.

Yes if the roots are showing at the bottom drainage holes.

Oh my god. How does yours look so beautiful!? Mine only holds two to three leaves at a time and the oldest leaf yellows so fast.

#### Choc replied on 2023-07-06

What kind of soil is in it? Are you using filtered water? Is it inside or outside? When watering I water it until the water runs out. Every other week I use a liquid fertilizer.

Hot and humid.
