YAY!! πŸ₯³πŸ₯³ Thats great, and so soon after being repotted too πŸ™ŒπŸΌ She definitely wanted that , I LOVE it when that happens 🎊

Also curious about your potting medium. Is it pon? I’m thinking about trying it for a few plants πŸŽ„ πŸ˜…
@DreamMachine yes this one is standing in pon😊
Nadia, would you explain what pon is? I don’t know about it in the slightest.
Hi @HolyLacealoe Anna😊 @DreamMachine Nadia, tagging you too as you were mentioned😊

Pon is a substrate made by Lechuza (you might have heard about their standard product "Lechuza-pon"). I use "Basicpon", which only differs from "Lechuza-pon" that it isn't added fertilizer.

Pon is composed of a mix of pumice, lava rock, and zeolite. And is supposedly specifically formulated for sensitive plants and cuttings, as an alternative to soil. And it is often used in combination with a self-watering pot.
You might think of it quite similar to growing in just lecaπŸ˜‰.
@MockingJay That is so exciting Veronika, congratulations!
