This beauty has been on my wishlist since forever and now I finally have it. So excited to watch it grow!
Since i'm new to this plant, I'd love some expert care tips!
She’s a beaut! My PPP is a little larger than that but only had 2 leaves when I got her as a baby. When she feels dry, I slowly water her with a little bit of water at a time. Let that soak in and then again a little more. I never “drown” her. This is what I was told to do from my friend that gave her to me and she’s thriving!
Also…if she starts flopping over, either a moss pole or even just an old orchid stick with some plant Velcro will work!

A lot more light than you think, moss pole it early and try to not miss a watering by more than a couple days. They do not reward neglect but once settle into a nice spot they are real reliable.
Also you’re gonna have to act like the rain for the new leafs, they’re going to get stuck, spray them with a mist or water all the leafs at the sink sometimes especially when you have new growth. It helps the the leaf slide out undamaged.
