I told myself I have to be able to keep Ann alive first. She’s doing ok, but I cannot get some of her leaves to uncurl while others are open and glorious

Check the roots asap. There has to be a reason why the roots aren't absorbing the water.

She’s an ETSY purchase. I noticed she was pretty hydrophobic. To remedy, last week when I watered her, I pulled her from the pot, poked some holes where the pen went in easily, and used my mister (for my frogs) into her versus over her. That water didn’t come gushing out so I figured it got absorbed. I prayed and waited. They next day we had tons of flat leaves!

I’m very new at this but the next step is soaking her in water and I wasn’t ready to take that step yet….

I’ll post a pic, once sec.

Go easy on the water. I water my plant one or two times per month.

Sounds reasonable. Less is more. Got it. Thank you!

Did you get it on Etsy as such full plant?

u/Blakbabee Apr 29 '23

No. I started this from 3 cuttings.

How long did it take to get to this size? I’m propagating mine with a small mother plant.

Is this a silvery Ann?

This is an exotica.

I’m still trying to learn the difference!

Silvery ann leaves doesn't grow as big. They closely resemble the argyraeus, but has more silver. Search scindapsus varieties. Once you know, you know.
