I ended up giving them a better light and a heat mat on very low (10-15 degrees Celsius) just to give some humidity and dry the soil quicker in between watering and theyre growing so much quicker now ![Attachment 1 of 2](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/jAxT4pQfL_aHM3E-T1qzmEZ8lvA3C6ueEowz78VGvt0/PAOd1ta7QaGCOWZh0_Klsw.webp?size=large) ![Attachment 2 of 2](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/jAxT4pQfL_aHM3E-T1qzmEZ8lvA3C6ueEowz78VGvt0/fWn9iTDGR9yjN3aMxwjzoQ.webp?size=large) ## 14 comments ### Mikel’s Plant Posse commented on 2026-04-03 How awesome!!!

Good idea with the wire for rooting she looks like she wants to go on a little walk haha, ive got a few ive gotta keep on leashes too 🤣😭💀 he kept flopping over in the pot until i put some on so hes more centred now and less top heavy as i changed and added more soil to the top and bottom of the pot #### Crystals4life replied on 2026-04-04 ![Attachment 1 of 1](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/jAxT4pQfL_aHM3E-T1qzmEZ8lvA3C6ueEowz78VGvt0/StKlu2w1Rpu4qb9aVNSazA.webp?size=large) #### Mikel’s Plant Posse replied on 2026-04-04 What’s his name!!? #### Mikel’s Plant Posse replied on 2026-04-04 He’s adorable! #### Crystals4life replied on 2026-04-04 He hasnt got one yetttt.
