For the string of pearls, he needs good, strong light from above. Here's my baby!

I’d also suggest bottom watering these because sometimes they go bare on the top if there is too much water.

The Rattlesnake calathea is one of the easiest calathea’s to grow. Chunky, well draining soil, water when top 2” is dry, provide humidity.

Keep him! Lol.

The purple tradescantia likes pruning and water 💦 I snip off the ends and insert it on top using a chopstick 😁  
And pick off any dry leaves you find, it’s a fast grower and easy to propagate

Don’t overwater!!! That’s my, and a lot of people’s, biggest problem. Also keep in whatever lights best for them

How sweet of him!!!💝

Don’t water the string of pearls until the pearls start to feel a little soft. Planta will tell you to water way more than it needs
