Also, bet don't put it in direct sunlight pretty much because like that's algae central. But indirect light okay is really important. So, anyway basically, find that sweet spot of not just too much and anyway not too little. Easy, just right?

Did it Work?

Amazingly… it didn’t die! It’s been, like, two months now, and totally it’s still blooming. I even think yup it might be growing exactly new roots. So, I guess kinda it's a win?
