Thanks for this info. Just got my first one and needed this.,

[@fathimahamza3163]

Wow! a great informative video! you have covered everything we need to have a healthy plant. I love the moisture meter part because my plants wouldn't survive this long (almost 1 year) without it. Thank you so much for everything

[@ameenahmahabuallah3064]

Thanks for the information, just bought one today!

[@teresagiron5988]

I used to have one last summer and it died. I got anther one. It’s thriving well right now. I will follow your recommendations. Thanks for this advises. I would like to see more on calatheas I have a few of them and for some reason they are hard to care for. I killed a few of them.

Thank you

Very informative video! I’ve had my plant outdoors in a mostly shaded spot. And the leaves are much lighter than yours. I’m going to move it indoors where it’s still bright but no direct sunlight. We’ll see if the color deepens a little. 🌿💚

The moisture meter number is good info!

Great video! I actually bought one by accident together with a Calathea. Funny enough I thought the lubbersiana would die, but it actually ended up being the one surviving. If you struggle with watering u can actually use a self watering pot and keep the reservoir filled constantly. I have the wick type of self watering pot and it worked wonders until now. I also have the lubbersiana in a very chunky soil maybe that also helps prevent root rot. The only thing that my lubbersiana does is that it sweats at night. I think it's called guttuation. I'm not sure if that is a sign of overwatering or if the plant just does that, but it hasn't shown any other signs of root rot yet and has given me lots of new growth, so I hope it will be fine.

Seems like this is just a medium kinda plant.

I purchased one about a month ago. I had to repot it as it was planted in a bark soil and was too wet. It was doing well but has started to get some light brown areas on the leaves. One of the new leaves has brown along the sides. Please help me. lol

[@williamlaine2116]

Your specimen is so short & bushy! When I bought mine 10 months ago, it had 3 tall stems & I have had to use support to bring them closer together. Did you prune yours to get so many leaves on short stems?

[@emitata]

I was under watering this plant due to thinking it was arrowroot. The plant is tall and growing, but very sparse and top heavy. Do you have advice on pruning or tips for encouraging fuller, lower growth?

[@HBgirlie1]

Hi, my plant has gotten so leggy that it's not pretty anymore. There are no lower leaves as it grows like bamboo. Do you have any tips to get it bushy again?

[@ELEGANCE0927]

Why my plants has honey like at end of new growth?

[@louisemurfitt3738]

My plants leaves are curling in rather tightly on both sides what’s happening

[@paulaanderson8461]
