Hello, everyone! I’m new here :) This is my first ever plant, Portia <3 She is an Elephant bush, and was gifted to me about 2 month ago. She is near a south facing window, and gets watered once her soil is dry :) I have a couple questions that I googled, but I felt like it wasn’t enough info for me. I found this app and am hoping someone will be able to help me :) To start off she has grown a lot. In the first photo the green part of her stem is all that she’s grown. My worry is that the stem doesn’t seem to be getting any darker, and I was wondering if this is normal? In the second photo there is a part of her leaf that is missing, and to me it looks like something has been eating away at it. She has leaves like this all around. I’ve looked for pests but haven’t seen any. Im thinking I may just not have the eye to find them because i’m not familiar with them? Could it be something I can change? Is there anything else about her that you guys are able to see that I should do/change now? Thank you so much in advance! <3
