Talking Re: Ae Ae 's first pup

I am in Chicago Dean. Its sitting outside in an about 15 gallon pot.

The few things he told me to do is keep it in an area that gets only morning sun and indirect the rest of the day.

He also told me to keep it in a smaller pot. 15 - 20 gallon max. It will look like its cramped in the pot but thats what you want he said. He said keep the soil line about 1 to 2 inches below the pots rim.

He said only use 50/50 sphagnum / peat. He uses the miracle grow bags of pre mixed right of the bag nothing else. He was very specific dont use pure peat.

I wet the whole plant leaves and stem. I was told to fill the whole pot with water and let it drain 5 or 6 times and do this once in the morning and once again at night EVERYDAY.

Thats it I know it doesnt seem like anything special but I did it word for word and it worked. My AeAe was a pup just this Feb and now it has its own pup.
