I use a water mister and mist the leaves daily or use a small cup and fill it with water let it soak for 30 minutes then take it out and do this soaking every 7-14 days

Misting can be good but they prefer being soaked I soak mine UPSIDE DOWN for only 5 -10 mins and they love it !

Why upside down?

#### LeafyGreenhouse replied on 2025-06-23

Because if you don’t then it could cause root rot

I used to do that and I killed 3

Meaning not putting it upside down killed it lol
