- 4th misting plain water and water with plain fertilizer. I would never fertilize for at least the first month.
- 5th keep out of any direct sun. Slowly add sun after you get some new growth. (Couple weeks growth) After they are a month or so old i also use the lawn chair method! Have always used it!!
Careful with some variegated plants like AEAE have major trouble with sun until they get a few feet tall.
That’s the advice i give and use. I have grown lots of TC plantlets straight out of test tubes.

Thanks,
When should I start misting with fertilizer and what strength fertilizer? My 2 Blue Javas took a setback as I think they weren't ready for the amount of sun they got as I took advice from someone on another thread, that they'd be ready for full sun after only 2 weeks which was bad information. They both only have 1 leaf left on the plants and those leaves are 90% dead, but have a new leaf forming. Hopefully they don't die but they are back inside my lanai and glad I brought them back before they died.
