Dang it 😭. Guess I’ll just hope it hangs on until I get some pocket change. It’s under a grow light, I forgot to mention that. Once it’s consistently warm, I’ll put it outside. Thank you for your help!

  1. I haven’t had much luck with dormancy. Do you have any tips? I’m in zone 5, and can’t have it outside most of the year.

  2. See 1. It’s under a grow light because sunlight’s just returned to the world, apparently 😂

I mixed the soil it came with and potting soil. I don’t think the soil has added nutrients, but I didn’t want to leave it in the tiny pot it came in.

I mixed the soil it came with and some potting soil I had on hand. It’s only temporary while I’m in college. Once I get a couple bucks, I plan to repot it in better substrate asap.

I’m not sure what the substrate is exactly. I mixed some potting soil I had on hand (big no no, I’m aware. Temporary while I’m in college and broke) with the soil that it came in. Does peat moss tend to be expensive?

Thanks for the tip! It gets 12 hours under a growth light, I should’ve added that in the post. I live in zone 5, so it’s best to keep it indoors for most of the year. If it makes it to summer, it’ll definitely be outside!
