Huge thank you for mentioning how dramatic these plants are. You were not kidding! Bought a wilted one with every leaf on the ground for cheap, and hours after watering it jumped back as if nothing happened.

I just bought my first waffle plant...from the clearance section. Mine didn't wit, it was very crisp and dried out, but it's been cleaned up and is growing & blooming, but it's gone wide before tall lol...

Thank you, great video.

[@rosemariesaldanha481]

👌 very well explained

[@jackdees8438]

I want one

[@BroadswordNii]

I have one of these growing under water in my fish tank I’m about to propagate it and put it everywhere

[@beavertaco8951]

I’m a new plant parent and have been told to use Neam oil?? Thank you for the information. I snagged up a Snow White waffle plant and a purple waffle plant at lowes for 4$. I pretty much water boarded them thinking they to dry. But you gave me some really good insight. Lol gonna let them dry out a little bit and start listening to them lol

[@Daisy.florina]

can the leaves be sprayed /

[@rebekahland2685]

I use a mister spray bottle and mist the leaves on mine every once in a while

[@metanoia.10]

you can as long as you dry it well because the crevices in the leaves may cause water build up, and eventually rot

[@Cindy-by3ho]

They do need humidity.

[@huntergage]

They do not NEED humidity. I own one and it is doing fine with my normal room levels. I have no devices for it.

[@albaromanovskyy7042]

Mine is not doing anything , not growing or anything just feels very dry even though I water her good

[@ameliafoley9569]

Might be your soil! It could be draining right through and not reaching any of the roots ❤ try putting it in a bowl of water to suck up through the bottom and pour water on top. Make sure it gets a good soak, then see a week later how the soil feels
