Here's a picture of mine showing the new growth. I planted it in a mixture of perlite and peat moss, soaked it good and then put it upstairs (attic) in a dormer window area that I had made into a temp greenhouse. It faced SW so it got lots of light and plenty warm. On occasion I would give it a small drink of water. Just a couple of days ago I put it on our back deck which faces East and gets direct sun until about 1:00, then indirect sun. I can give it more sun if it needs it. It's been going into the 60's at night. So now what do I do with it? I read that I need to fertilize it often, Is that right? and with what? How often should I water now? I want so much to make this bloom and be successful. Probably more because I paid ten bucks for a "Stick", ha!
