It’s made a #comeback #resurrected from the dead 💀, I was right not to throw it out.

They do like a rest David, I was ready to give up on my Zebrina, but I repotted it and it’s rewarded me with two new leaves 👍🏼😀

Some plant roots come back not just bulbs @sieveheadsarah and @hkyfvr I’ve learned that from our wonderful group 😊

Thank you @lesliecole49 my father was a farmer, probably get it from him. Diane @hkyfvr the number one cause of African Mask failure is over watering, they need to dry out a bit, but not to dry.

Thanks so much. I know that is what I did. I really have to work on that as I have a tendency to want to water. Maybe there is an overwaterers anonymous. Lol. 🤣

I water this one every 2 weeks @hkyfvr and it’s inside. We have high humidity inside. Even growing a few begonias inside with no problems

I bought a humidifier for the room where I keep my plants for the Winter. It seems to be helping. 👍😍
