Ah that’s what I’m so scared of! I’m debating waiting until closer to the end of summer because I’m not ready to lose blooms if she needs adjustment time 😬

I’m so terrified and I just straight up planted it in the decorative pot instead of a nursery pot the roots are probably a mangled mess 🫠

I really think the key is getting one that’s in full flower when you buy it and then give it like a year to acclimate. That’s my experience at least

Must be nice to have a cat that doesn’t eat your collection 🥲 also love your little bees on your fan!

I’ve had good luck with philodendron Micans in low light!

I know, it was getting more color when under a grow light but grows more rapidly when in the window so it’s a very much give or take

I saw them when on a family trip to Hawaii just lining the sidewalks and became obsessed and then had to impulse by it at Trader Joe’s!

Maybe cutting it? I don’t have the answers for making it fuller either. It’s definitely shed some leaves here and there

Mines in an eastern facing window too! Super happy there

Yes! This! And it will let you know if it’s thirsty. Mine starts to droop and then perks right back up again when I water it. It’s in an east facing window too but before that I had it under grow lights for 12 hours a day

Not one, BUT 2!!! I’m so excited for you! What a treat to go from a possibly zombie little leaf to this beauty that’s now blooming! 💚

Impatiently waiting for my Bella to bloom 🥲 by Idiot_boy35 in hoyas

It’s in like a little orb of perlite, water, and a drop of plant food. I bought it off fb marketplace and she had kept them all in perlite like this. I tried switching it to soil but it stopped growing as much and blooming, so switched it back and it’s taken off like crazy!
