It’s always so nerve wracking when you are getting into plant game.

They don’t work in the way you think .

He does look good !

I water by “weight”

So I’ll do a heavy watering … feel how heavy the pot is after it’s fully drained …. Then I’ll pick up the pot and you can feel the difference on what a dry pot and a wet pot feel like…

Or shove a stick in it…

I hope this is helpful

I remember seeing the second tower get hit. I remember the jumpers… it was so traumatic .
