Has grown pretty quickly in the 2 years I’ve had it. Admittedly it doesn’t get a ton of light but still seems to do well. It will drop leaves when it needs water.

I really loved my plant until I noticed pest on the underside of her leaves on her new growth. I immediately took her out of circulation and sprayed her with neem oil. I hope it works. Otherwise Sheera is pretty easy to care for.

Slow grower but she’s resilient. Just one of those plants you forgot you had but she’s just doing her own thing growing at her own rate.

Late spring I like to put her outside on carport till fall time . She grows like crazy. The carport has a cover so not direct sun . And I fill old milk containers with water let them get room temperature. That’s what I use to water my plants with .

It started out lush but has been dropping leaves like crazy. Out of our 20 plants it’s the hardest to manage. We think it may need water multiple times a week
