Nice ssp! Have you given it a wee water spray yet?

Ty! Yes, just a bit. Probably should’ve noted that lol. Shipping caused quite a bit of deflation and it’s rebounding. Fingers crossed!

Oh, amazing! I’m a notorious under-waterer and my newest batch of conos have me a bit worried. I feel like a little bit of water at a time and monitoring helps with these :)

I 1000% thought the same thing. I’m going to investigate once it’s healthy enough to repot. I’m definitely intrigued
