DAY 8 (December 8): Fiddle Leaf Fig 🌱AKA: Ficus Lyrata🌱 Difficult to keep alive 🤪 don’t get it as your “first” plant🌱I have one in a Terra Cotta Pot 🌱 Both I repotted into pine chips, fox farm potting soil, some cactus mix and perlite🌱 Don’t leave her soggy🌱 Don’t keep her in a pot bigger than her roots, she actually likes to be snuggly(tight) in there 🌱 Bright indirect light (like ALL my plants)🌱 Clean dust from leaves every so often

DAY 6 (December 6): PINK FITTONIA
AKA: Nerve Plant
🌱 she’s a dramatic diva
🌱 she turned a brighter pink when I added her to the room with brighter light
🌱 she tells you when she’s thirsty (as you can tell by her drooping leaves, but don’t let her get like that often)
🌱 They prefer humidity but where I have her she seems to be fine and there’s no humidity there
🌱I water by soaking her when she’s dramatically dry or by having a water globe in her dirt

DAY 5 (December 5): DRACAENA
🌱pronounced draseena apparently
🌱 there are many varieties of Dracaenas
🌱 I think this one is Golden Heart or Lemon Lime or Warneckei 🤷🏻‍♀️
🌱 this is NOT one of my favs
🌱 needs bright indirect light (like most plants)
🌱 likes acidic soil (maybe that’s what I need to change)
🌱 likes 70-80° and definitely nothing below 50°
🌱 likes it humid (also why she probably hates my house. I live in the desert and don’t have a humidifier for her)
🌱the big one I’ve had for 4 years and the little one for a couple months

Anyway don’t get this one…jk don’t tell her I said that
