Re: Possible?

And for me it’s also psychological cutting my banner babies in half lol

Re: Unboxing Festivities

OK so you do not pot it up upon arrival?

I don't have perlite, but have vermiculite and sand, would that work?

Also do you water it upon arrival or give it a week to settle?

Re: Leaves becoming soft and curled when put outside

Also any feedback on the plant in general is appreciated.

Have kind of been winging it!
