Those are hard ones to start out with. I will say be very careful not to over water and make sure she gets enough light. I killed my first one which was from my mom’s funeral so I was super sad but I recently bought a new one in her memory since I’ve gotten better with plants and it is thriving. Well it was until I watered early two days ago and now she isn’t as happy. I so knew better but I was emptying out a water bottle to throw away and didn’t think it would cause any harm cause it wasn’t much left in it. Sadly it did but she’s still alive. Maybe check and see what the roots are doing if they are super soggy or mushy then repot her. #### Sky님이 2025-05-29에 답변했습니다. Thanks! I watered her 2 days ago she seems to be doing fine 🤞🏼 other than the EXTREME tilting which i will be fixing with some support. the leaves seem very dusty almost, am i supposed to spritz the leaves or leave them alone? I heard they are pretty challenging to take care of. this is the morning light she gets this photo was taken around 5:30 am so she gets decent light throughout the day. you can see in the photo how tilted she is, she’s leaning on the window. ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/pF-1Vq8t69iswhq_XUbeYMtlQncVPTNmwVZWRDP5XNc/rRMgOY6aRf-4RCLGqy9QfA.webp?size=large) ### JJ님이 2025-05-29에 댓글을 남겼어요. Also a pic would help us better detect what’s wrong too. #### Sky님이 2025-05-29에 답변했습니다. i wouldn’t say anything is ‘wrong’ fingers crossed lol. shes just tilting like crazy im thinking it happened during moving her or just the way she was potted. i havent repotted her yet. i was just going to add some support and see if that works? ### JJ님이 2025-05-29에 댓글을 남겼어요. Oh well she is gorgeous just looks like maybe the weight so yeah give her some support. Mine gets dusty quick so I just use one of those fuzzy gloves dampen it and wipe her leaves down every couple weeks or so. #### Sky님이 2025-05-29에 답변했습니다. Will do i think all my plants need a bit of that! thank you!! ### JJ님이 2025-05-29에 댓글을 남겼어요. I’d leave her just how she is and add some support for her. She’s huge and beautiful. #### Sky님이 2025-05-29에 답변했습니다. thank you ☺️ ### Heather님이 2025-05-29에 댓글을 남겼어요. FLF are a tough “starter plant”. My biggest suggestion is invest in a good hydrometer and go by its readings instead of strictly watering on Planta’s schedule. Mine was being overwatered when I first got the app but the hydrometer keeps watering in check. Personally I recommend it for ALL plants and just use Planta as a suggestion or “reminder to check” the plants. (Which is good as it have a LOT of plants to remember. 😜) #### Sky님이 2025-05-29에 답변했습니다. yeah I dont typically stick to the app i usually go by how the soil feels and looks! but i think the water meter would be a good investment #### Heather님이 2025-05-29에 답변했습니다. FLF are incredibly rewarding if they are well cared for! I bought mine last July and the large leaves (everything above my finger) are all new growth since I brought it home. She is in an east facing window behind a porch and pergola and in winter I supplement her with a few hours of plant light. ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/pnXnsRbEbVfHs29czNYzK4jB6BFd3BsI9bsKKyqia8I/ucot1pTmQni2cGULQxQAxg.webp?size=large) #### Sky님이 2025-05-29에 답변했습니다. omg she looks AMAZING so healthy congratulations ### Kelly님이 2025-05-29에 댓글을 남겼어요. Gorgeous 😻 mine is tall and skinny so I must be doing something wrong #### Sky님이 2025-05-29에 답변했습니다. dont beat yourself up i bought her like that hahah they are very hard plants #### Heather님이 2025-05-29에 답변했습니다. Probably not doing anything wrong. They tend to be single trunk with leaves directly connected to that trunk. I know a business that has one in their lobby that is over 20 feet tall and just the single trunk and leaves. There are actually 2 plants in that pot which is why it is so full. You can top a FLF if you want to force it to branch out. --- _Planta 커뮤니티 (https://getplanta.com). 누구나 읽을 수 있습니다. 게시물을 올리고, 댓글을 달고, 좋아요를 누르려면 Planta 앱을 다운로드하세요: https://getplanta.com/download_
