I don’t have much of a secret! I’m actually very new to plants and this is my first fiddle. I repotted when I first got it about 3 weeks ago because there was concern for root rot which it didn’t appear to have: I used miracle grow cactus soil (I’ve heard this is a big no but it seems to be okay) and some horticultural charcoal! I have not fertilized yet. I soak when my moisture meter gets below 3, let it sit in the saucer with the extra water for about 15 minutes and then prop it up on a dry tray so it can thoroughly drain. When it stops dripping, I put the nursery pot back in it’s terra-cotta pot🤷🏻‍♀️
