    I recommend keeping it in the nursery pot until you see roots coming out of the bottom! Water when the soil is dry. You can do a taco test where you fold the heart and if it folds easily it needs water! 💚

    Also lots of light! Make sure the light hits it on the top of the plant!

    They like being root bound. I left mine in a two inch pot for over a year and the strings grew more than 8 ft. I only recently repotted it into a 3 inch pot and it’s starting to flower now. It’s been a very low maintenance plant for me.

    4 to 6 hours of bright indirect light, well draining soil, water when soil is mostly dry once or twice a week in the summer less in fall and winter, feed twice in the growing season and nothing in fall and winter, high humidity

    mine sits in a southeast facing bay window in zone 9 (direct light till about 2pm during summer) and she’s all pink due to sun stress 💕

    Mines in a west window, about 6hrs direct light and the rest indirect. I water every 4-5 days, but she's currently in moss. So soil would provide be every 7-10
