Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.

Every time I opened the window I had to put her somewhere else in case the wind blew too hard at her. So I gave her a plant support. I actually had another one in mind for her, but I still had this plant support lying around... and she actually deserves all the shinynessāØ

Growing fast & tall I placed my Stephania Erecta bulb in water on 8/28, and the picture shows how itās doing on 9/13. Itās growing so fast and just straight up - is this normal?? The site I bought it from made it look shorter with leaves (thought I see online now that it can grow long).
