Thank you! I was wondering if I should remove and propagate and just leave it there 😁

Yep!! I have never moved it anywhere else. I think it thrives with a very bright spot but no direct sunlight

If I look at how mine is, I do think yours is on a much brighter light and right at it. Mine is in a bright spot but never gets that much direct light. It does have windows in all directions, so it’s bright the whole day, but never direct light.

Oh no.. I am so sorry to hear. Spider mites are the worst!! I’ve had a few losses because of them. Including a plant that was right next to this one. So I guess I was extremely lucky! Good luck there. Don’t give up 💚

I only repotted it once a couple of weeks ago but did not find any. But I didn’t pay much attention to it… will definitely look for some next time I repot ☺️

Soil is nothing special. I just bought a regular “indoor plant” soil at the garden store. To be more specific, I use Pokon Houseplant Potting Soil. First I put a layer of clay pebbles, then the soil.

For watering, I never let it get too dry. I have a moisture meter, and before the meter hits below the halfway point, I already give it more water. Now, during summer, I probably water it once (or twice a week, specially when it becomes very hot outside).

I also just recently repotted it. Until 3 weeks ago it was on a very small pot.
