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 itās likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.

Just got this plant #StephaniaErecta it was in transit from NYC to AZ for four days.. does it look okay? Iāve done the initial watering and Iāve left it alone next to a window. Do I need a humidifier near it?

Yellow dust on Stephania Erecta Could this be a fungal issue ? Iāve only been watering once a week. I live in a high humidity location and the best couple of weeks have been raining with little Sun. How can I save this? Your help is much appreciated!

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).

Should I remove the old stems? #StephaniaErecta Our #StephaniaErecta lost its leaves last year and the stems dried out. Itās now showing signs of new life with a tiny shoot š±. We are now wondering if itās a good time to remove the old stems??

A few leaves is starting to turn yellow. I donāt know if it is because these are old leaves or what else? #StephaniaErecta

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

My little friend arrived from Thailand so I still donāt know much about this plant other than how long it takes to sprout & grow itās round beautiful leaves. Iāve recently started to āwake itā by putting it under a grow light & providing some heat. I read that this is an extremely SLOOOOW grower & does require a ton of patience.
