First time plant mom. This is my cast iron and I’ve had her a week and just did her first water. So far so good. I repotted to a bigger pot based on reviews and basically google and this app gets credit for making it this far. Wish us luck. Hi everyone
6ft to light, direct
10” pot with drainage

@LeafMeBee πŸ‘‹πŸ», Congratulations and Welcome to Greg! It’s a great community. Your plant looks good! These plants aren’t too fussy. Just need bright indirect light with watering every couple a weeks and they are happy so you are doing great. I was delivered a nearly dead/defective one from Amazon and the vendor wouldn’t replace the plant so I cut her back almost completely hoping for new growth!. Finally after 6 months, I have some new shoots! If I could say one thing, I noticed your plant card indicates the plant is by a heater. I would move it away as the hot/dry air can scorch the leaves or dry the plant out. I keep mine outside on my covered patio but I’m in CA. She seems happy there but If temps are going to drop below 50 degrees I bring mine inside.
@Shells_Garden thank you. I moved it away from the heater and need to update that. Glad you saved your plant. Amazon delivered mine on the side and luckily it was securely packed.
