Picked up 2 plants from my wishlist this past week. They’re beautiful and I’m excited to see them grow. Any tips on how to help them thrive?

I had a polka dot plant awhile ago that eventually died because I never pruned it. It tends to get really leggy, so if you want to keep it in a bush-like shape, make sure you prune it often

The one on the left drops leaves when I even look at it 😭😭

It’s my first one so I’m trying to get all conditions right. Ik it needs more humidity in my place since I live in a pretty dry climate

Mine did that a lot too 😅

It took me a while to find the right lighting to make my polka dot happy. It was dropping leaves and getting leg until then. I just had to wait it out until he found a happy spot. I have mine about 18” from the grow light and things are finally okay. At least I’m hoping…
