One of new favorites!!! It has fuzzy thick leaves and a beautiful brown/chocolate tip and doesn’t need to be watered often and has the cutest pups for propagation. Just be mindful of pot size for it …

Saved this plant from my roommate who hadn’t watered her in three months. Split the plant up, repotted it, and hoping for the best 🤞

Don’t overwater, it will look really bad because it looses its leaves. But if u can keep it alive it’s super cute and fuzzy

Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Panda Plant after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.
