I believe my Velutina has put out a flag leaf and I have a flower popping up. I will attach a few pictures here.

I have all these plants in my home office. We are very dry in Utah so I put a warm humidifier in the office to keep the humidity close to 50%-60%. Normally inside the house it is about 20% humidity.

I am having issues with spider mites. Agh!! I hate those little guys. It's a lot of work to constantly battle the arthropods. Never ending right?

Thank you to all you are on here because I read and learn and study and gain a lot from all you post! Love it!
