    Ooh is that a Syngonium I see? One thing about those is dont overwater. Unless the soil is dry, don’t water before it gives you the notification :) I keep mine in a NW facing window and it loves it. Make sure not to put it in a frosted window- friend of mine nearly killed mine putting it in a frosted window. Here’s a picture of mine now: It looks yellow but isn’t- just the lighting lol :) It reeeaaally likes sun- I might get a grow light clip for mine soon so it stops reaching for the window (i turned it around for the photo) Good luck!

    Also, when repotting, just a tip, don’t use soil that’s sat outside at any point while opened. Used some that had been outside and all my repotted plants got a really bad infestation of gnats. Took weeks to get rid of them, and they’re still here. Hope that helps :)

      Thank you so much for the tips! I’ve always had succulents until about a month ago, so I’m expanding my plant babies a little lol.

    All three of your new plants prefer to be a little on the dry side. Not like a cactus but still a little on the dry side. Keep the variegated pepperonia in bright indirect light. If the light is too low you can lose the variation. Mine is going to completely green. It's still pretty but not very verigated. The spider plant will tolerate a little lower light but prefers bright indirect light and it likes to be crowded in its pot so don't repot it for a while. A crowded plant will produce more abundant babies.

    These plants will also require a little higher humidity than your cactus / succulent population.

      Thank you for the advance. I didn’t know hardly any of that so I appreciate it. Do you know if either of these plants are sensitive to what kind of water you use?

      I use tap water on my pepperomia. Not sure about the others. I think all plants would do better with distilled or rain water if it's available.

    Luckily you got three fairly easy plants. They are not too fussy. I used tap water that I let settle for 24 hours on these varieties and had no issues. I only water when dry and I mist about twice a week.

      Thank you! I have a plant that HAS to have distilled water and was hoping these weren’t the same way. Thank you for the information!

    My spider plant THRIVES in my North facing window.

      That’s perfect! That’s the only window that I have that gets sun right now! Happy to know it’s going to be okay! Thank you!
