I’ve always wanted this plant to fill out, but I feel like it’s been pretty stagnant for about a year. I never see new propagations from pieces that fall off either. It’s under a grow light, in well draining mix and a terracotta pot. Any tips to make it thrive??
How strong is the grow light? How many foot candles? I have only had luck with direct sunlight or sunlight and a grow light. Not sure where you are located but me in Canada a south or southwest window that gets a lot of direct sunlight. Also trying a much smaller pot might help. This large a pot it will put more energy into the roots instead because it will need a lot of roots to manage the amount of water it will be getting every time you water it.

Try feeding it, sometimes fertilizer is the push it needs to take off

0 Likes I’ll try moving it to a smaller pot!
