Any one know whats going on with my Sun Star? My sister took our plants outside and it had been left outside in the sun for a while. I brought them inside and gave them water but its beem about 2 weeks now and they dont look good. Our cat decided to play with one of the pots and knocked it over.. Is there anything i can do to get them to bloom new flowers or are they too late to get help?

Do I need to repot and separate my sun star plants? #happyplants#newgrowth#newplantmom So, happily, my sun start plant seemingly came back from the dead about 1.5 months ago lol. It came back looking super healthy and happy. But now I'm seeing that there are what looks like 3 separate plants growing in this pot (2.5in) and they are getting bigger than the original plant was when I bought it. Do I need to repot this in a bigger pot and do I need to separate the 3 plants? Also, will my sun star keep coming back or will it be more like most bulbs and live for a few cycles before dying? #SunStar

Sunny has popped out a flower. She took forever to finally get a bud out, and now she has shown a few flowers. Now, she is waiting for her companions to do the same. 😁
