Hello everybody !!!! I'm so thrilled that I decided to go to Home Depot today. I know that they always get new plants on Tuesdays so I try to go on Wednesdays or on Sunday after the Saturday delivery. Well I went today and wasn't really looking for anything when I happen to come across this beautiful AVs. I was going to get like 3 but I have to wait until tomorrow for my paycheck so I only went with one. It's an Optimara and I'm pretty sure that I was able to ID it correctly from their site as Rhapsodie Teressa. Would you recommend me to repot it into my own mix?? I use 50/50 peat moss to perlite. Maybe a bit more perlite and have learned that a wick is probably a very good way to water them so that there won't be drops on the leaves that may cause burns. If this is so just let me know and I'll do it ASAP. Here are some pictures.
