I love seeing baby leaves because it means they don't have spider mites. 🤣🤣. My baby is blooming his heart out.

I was also surprised when mine bloomed last year. It was the first time in 4 years! 😍

I was so surprised the first time he bloomed! And every time, his blooms get bigger. I find myself worrying it's because he thinks he's dying. 🤣

I've found that for my Crotons, the first way I can tell they may have spider mites is when they drop their baby leaves.
