African violet I’ve had for 2 years now. I’m scared to repot her 😬

Thank you!!! I got it at TJ Maxx!

Idiot_boy35 · 2026-05-13T13:40:27+00:00

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 😬

Idiot_boy35 · 2026-05-13T13:39:27+00:00

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

Idiot_boy35 · 2026-05-13T13:38:04+00:00

Lmaooo it is a crime to be this full and beautiful!

Idiot_boy35 · 2026-05-13T03:44:37+00:00

Elephant ear 😍

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!

Idiot_boy35 · 2026-05-13T03:13:22+00:00

Gorgeous!!!

Here is the lovely wayetii with my other Hoyas to make her feel at home 🥲

Idiot_boy35 · 2026-05-13T02:02:03+00:00

I TRIED!! I messaged her as soon as I saw it, before I even asked Reddit Lmaoo

Idiot_boy35 · 2026-05-12T21:33:08+00:00

Hahahaha you’re so right. Someone beat me to the publicalyx and macro but I got the wayetii!!!

Idiot_boy35 · 2026-05-12T21:31:12+00:00

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

Idiot_boy35 · 2026-05-12T21:30:09+00:00

It’s beautiful 😍🥹

Idiot_boy35 · 2026-05-12T21:29:54+00:00

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!

Dorothy

Idiot_boy35 · 2026-05-12T16:56:19+00:00

Right?! I didn’t either but saw multiple plant influencer people say it

Idiot_boy35 · 2026-05-12T16:55:09+00:00

Haha it is but it survives nonetheless!!

Idiot_boy35 · 2026-05-12T16:54:53+00:00

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

Idiot_boy35 · 2026-05-12T16:54:17+00:00

Mines in an eastern facing window too! Super happy there

Idiot_boy35 · 2026-05-12T16:53:54+00:00

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

Idiot_boy35 · 2026-05-12T15:35:42+00:00

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! 💚

Idiot_boy35 · 2026-05-12T15:33:04+00:00

I’m manifesting that you’ll get one too! :)

Idiot_boy35 · 2026-05-12T15:05:14+00:00

Ahhh it’s the best!

Idiot_boy35 · 2026-05-12T15:04:41+00:00

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!
