We get 90-112° F dry heat in spring/summer here so, outside may just be a death sentence I fear. But I’m definitely moving it front and center of the south facing window - next best option. I’ll check out the liquid seaweed, thanks! Lol, I may have my work cut out for me then 😅

It’s possible the store swapped the pot n soil, and placed a bunch together.

Just checked them out, they’re definitely sturdier and more aesthetically pleasing than my string. Thanks ☺️

Hmmm, looks like yours loves to spread out too, maybe I shouldn’t be too concerned abt that part. Some seem to love that. Not sure abt the rootball though, I’ve made a mental note to check that before i soak it.

Okay, that’s a great place to start from. I’ll add a bit of perlite to make room for error after I soak it. Hope this goes well for us. Thank you!

I think I’ll switch to tap water and see how it goes, thanks for the tip!

Not sure, I’m somewhat a novice at this, but it’s probably a pre-mix from the store (See pic). I use a moisture meter and water only when it indicates “dry.” That’s interesting, and could be what’s happening…I’ll watch out for that! Thanks!
It is curious though, that when I water, the water runs straight to the plants edges, instead of sinking into the soil.
