Gorgeous! Water just before the soil is completely dry, bright indirect light. I fertilize every two weeks in the growing season, once a month in winter but it kinda depends on how much you dilute your fertilizer and what kind u use. They will do ok in regular potting soil but I think they do better with some extra drainage.

P.s. miracle grow fertilizer doesn't work, been there done that😂

Good to know, I have been using miracle grow. What would you suggest for fertilizer?

#### Abbi replied on 2025-01-10

I mean, if it is working thats great. You wouldn't necessarily have to switch h but you pry will get better results with a different one. Mine just started getting leaves that were a lighter green except for the leaves. I switch to a different fertilizer and its getting better. I'm using superthrive foliage pro and so far my plants are absolutely loving it.

thanks hahaa the seller tried to sell me some miracle fertilizer but i dident buy it, i do you think a window is a good place for it

#### Abbi replied on 2025-01-10

Yeah a window will be great unless its a north facing, then you'll pry want to add grow lights.

Do you know if i can have it over a radiator or does it get burned

#### Abbi replied on 2025-01-10

Idk, but I'd pry just go by if its not comfortable for you it pry won't be for it. You can look up what temps they can handle.
