Hi, I’ve had this plant quite a while and got it in a rescue box. It appears healthy but hasn’t been giving me any new growth. Any tips? Many thanks 🙏

How are the roots

#### Shell replied on 2025-10-05

Quite fine, around 8” long but not coming out of the bottom of the pot and cream/white in colour

#### Jasneedshelp replied on 2025-10-05

Hm I’m curious to know too

### Tom commented on 2025-10-05

New soil Needed, also a moss pole would help. The aerial roots shouldn’t be in the soil, looks like one of them is starting to root as in wet soil. Also humidifier if you have one near it with some bright light. If doing soil change be best to add a bit of root crack on the new soil where the roots will touch

#### Tom replied on 2025-10-05

Leaves look nice and healthy

#### Shell replied on 2025-10-05

Thank you Tom. I’ll get a moss pole together. It’s right next to my humidifier and actually around 12” away from a grow light. I’m not familiar with root crack??

#### Tom replied on 2025-10-05

Root crack is another name the a few use, I’m in the uk and called DYNOMYCO Granular Mycorrhizal Fungi Inoculant,– Boosts Root Growth, Yields \& Nutrient Uptake

#### Tom replied on 2025-10-05

There are other brands out there but this has always worked well for me, I add in every pot change . If you type in plant root crack it should give you a list of some. I find it stops plants stressing

#### Shell replied on 2025-10-06

Amazing, thank you for the tips, I’ll take a look.

Mine grew a lot when I put it directly in a window! Maybe it just needs a bit more light

#### Shell replied on 2025-10-06

Thank you, I’ll try moving her.

Sol Soils also has great soil additives that help replenish what’s been lost in the soil or shock from repotting!

#### Shell replied on 2025-10-06

Thank you, I’ll take a look.
