Got these pings about 6 months ago. First time having them. They seem happy enough 🤷🏼‍♀️ The top left one was the size of an eraser, but grew more tall than wide and couldn’t stay up. I added the emotional support toothpick a few days ago and it seems to have helped. Any suggestions/if you see any care issues, please comment!

I'm also new to pings. Mine decided to lose all its tiny roots, so it now has 4 emotional support toothpicks

So mine aren’t the only ones who thrive on drama? Good to know 😂

Where did you happen to find your Pings? Mine are on my wishlist!

#### Natalie replied on 2026-03-06

I found mine through a seller out of Florida on Etsy! There are a bunch of nurseries, just search by whatever keyword plant you’re looking to buy. I’ve gotten pitchers and now pings on Etsy, and they’ve all done well. Just check the store ratings and reviews!
