Yes! Lots of bright light, well draining soil, and a decent watering schedule to match the higher light.
2 J'aimeThank you for the tips!!!! I had one maybe a year ago that was thriving and loving life and got sucked into a mealy bug outbreak and died and I’ve been struggling to get a new one since 💔
1 j'aimeAlso always make sure to take all of your plants out of those death plugs! Lots of nurseries use them and then repot them into bigger plants and they stunt the growth! Yet another reason why I always repot plants that I purchase! Gotta go hunting for death plugs 😭
4 J'aimeI did I’m waiting to see how it recovers from being sopping wet🤞
0 J'aimeI hope your baby comes back to life!!! Maybe give it some root powder when you repot to help it as well 💜 Happy growing!
1 j'aimeI did dip it in rooting hormone! Thank you! Makes me feel better about how I handled the poor fella! Here’s to hoping he recovers
1 j'aimeKeep us updated haha
0 J'aimeOh no. They do not ship well, especially when smaller. Hopefully it pops back for you. I concur with the bright light and Mycorrhizal
1 j'aimeI know I wish I was able to find them locally😭 I dipped him in rooting hormone and stuck him under my best grow light 🤞
1 j'aimeThey definitely aren't one i see here often either. But I lucked out at mcclendons and found a 4" pot. It's now a 7" pot. They can be so finicky
