2. Soak in clean, lukewarm water: Place it in a glass or jar with enough water to cover the base and roots (or bottom). Within a few hours to a day, the leaves slowly open and reveal green leaves.
3. Change the water from time to time: To avoid stagnation, refresh the water every few days. Keep water clean and avoid algae build-up.
4. Provide Indirect Lighting: Keep it in bright, indirect light, avoid harsh direct sunlight, which can dry it out. It thrives in moderate indoor light.
5. Alternative Infections in Soil: Once it regenerates and shows healthy green growth, you can gradually repot it into moist, humus-rich soil or mix (peat, sand, bark) – but maintain high humidity. Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged.
6. Fertilizer and replanting: It grows slowly and does not require much feeding. Reapply or refresh the substrate every year or when the plant outgrows its container.
tip: Display your regenerated sapling in a clear glass bowl or vase to showcase its transformation – it serves as a visual reminder of abundance, regeneration and resilience.
