@cyndi Thank you!💘😍

comment
ShelleySnyder

@KariSamuel It will loose every leaf eventually and be bare in the garage, I think they get this big for me because I take really big fat pieces to root, I've learned thru the years that the small skinny stuff takes much more time to get big and bloom so I don't mess with the little stuff anymore, oh and also I leave it in the water way longer than most would! If you swipe you can see this last winter in the house rooting😁💘😍

So Shelley I’m new these plants @treefrog sent me a couple little ones but those big leaves those are the brig. right and they bloom up closer to the top! Regular liquid fertilizer? Yours are huge how long have you had this one?😊💕

6w
comment
ShelleySnyder

@terrimclaughlin I put a cutting in water last fall and then planted it up after it was very laden with roots, so this is the first year for this one, make sure you have lots of roots on it before you plant it, they are Hardy outside thru winter in zone 9 and higher, they are fertilizer hogs (if you want them to bloom heavy for you) I mix all purpose miracal gro with a super bloom type fertilizer and give it to them at least once a week! If you have any other questions just ask Terri I'll be

comment
ShelleySnyder

@columbiariver the are hard to keep watered, no matter what kind of pot you use, they are water hogs!!😂 for me I always put them in a fairly small pot cuz they seem to be busy growing roots so once the pot is full of roots then the plant will grow, so I slowly up my pot size. Oooh I'm a queen!😁 thanks Laura!💘😍

@columbiariver buds will fall off, they fall off even outside in the summer, so that's not really unusual 💘😍

comment

@cyndi 🤔 once it's in dirt it needs to have excellent drainage, if it's cuz of lack of light the leaves will fall off all the time. But I wouldn't worry to much, once it goes outside for summer they come around fairly quickly 💘😍
