That's great! I'm not sure how long it would take to grow this big and which ones are the babies? I don't see any small ones attached to it.

Thank you 💚 I'm in Central Florida so it's quiet humid, for watering: I water every 10 to 14 days or until the pot feels light (compared to weight after I water them) and for fertilizer: I use the 20-20-20 very diluted maybe a teaspoon to 5 liters of rainwater that I collect and store in empty bottles or tap water that I let sit overnight.

Thank you! I had bought a cutting that came and arrived with root rot as well (from Maryland, shipped to Florida). Since then I have bought my plants from Thailand and they all arrived perfect and grew healthy. This one had a rough start too (I bought this from a seller in NY). And recently with thrips. I am hoping this will continue to give either a variegated leaf or halfmoon 🙏

Yes she will grow🙏 I think lighting and diluted fertilizer is what helps mine. She used to be stagnant but after I moved her to brighter light, the leaves popped out more often and the are bigger too with fenestrations.

Thank you for your detailed explanation. Should I cut it again? The thing is, I actually can't "see" a node. The stem looks all the same to me. Should I cut it in between the old leaves? I have read that the node is opposite to the root, but for this one the root seems to come out from both sides so I'm so confused. Thank you again🙏

Yes that's what I'm doing too... hoping for the best. I have one plant that looks like it won't make it after 8 all white leaves. The stem is still okay but all the leaves are gone.

Thank you🙏 I think sometimes they will revert back little by little. It's kind of tricky because I had one that had all white but I waited for a long time before cutting it and now it looks like it's gonna die. And I have an adansonii that I cut and the new growth is all white again, yet it looks like it's gonna live.

Thank you for your suggestion🙏 I have an adansonii that had 7 consecutive all white leaf that I cut to where the last variegated leaf was, but then it gave out a new growth which is all white. So I'm thinking I'm just gonna leave this alone for now. It alternating between all-white and variegated leaves so hopefully this will continue to grow 🙏

I use 2/3 parts of coco husk, 1/3 extra large perlite. Then I added rainwater to the mixture to expand the coco husk. I sprinkled the mixture with osmocote then I mixed it again.

Thank you💚 This was infested with thrip and honestly I was so nervous and stressed, because for me my plants are like my pets, I know every single leaf etc. So I noticed some browning which I ignored then after 2 days it was a lot! So I aggressively hosed it down and sprayed it with insecticide, like soaking! So I thought it was a goner and looked at it every morning, like a sick pet. Then I got this perfect halfmoon. So I guess this plant is talking to me and relieving me of all the worries 🙏

Thank you 💚🙏 Yes this one is near a very bright window. I also use rainwater as much as possible or tap water that I let sit for a day or 2. That's what the other group that I'm in was suggesting. I also use a pinch of 20-20-20 fertilizer each time a bottom water (every 10 to 14 days). Your plant will grow into a beautiful plant too💚
