I love naming my plants based on their characteristics, scientific name, or the way which I got them. “Swiss”, “Adan”, “Cheese”, “anita”, “Monsieur”, little silly things like that! May your plant prosper! :)

I think I’m leaning towards Monsieur 👀

I’ve found this plant can be really moody when watering gets inconsistent, like when it’s allowed to dry out for just a day or two too long.

#### Vicky replied on 2024-01-25

How often do you water it during the winter/summer?

#### V.curios replied on 2024-01-26

I do it based on how heavy the pot feels, but basically let the soil dry out between waterings. There is no set best amount of days, it depends on your environment, root to soil ratio, light levels, etc. Right now I’m watering every 8-10 days.
