I’ve always wanted a Fiddle Leaf Fig, and she immediately gave me Freya energy — strong, grounded, a little dramatic. First plant mom task: leaf cleaning • new plants are usually dusty + stressed • dust blocks light • clean leaves = better photosynthesis • better photosynthesis = happier plant 🌱 You’ll notice the ✨sexy plant juice✨ cameo 👀 Explanation coming soon — today was just about getting her clean, comfy, and settled. Currently in the observe, don’t overwhelm phase 🤍

I brought home a new plant recently, and she’s still settling in — observing, adjusting, deciding if she trusts me yet 😂 Right now I’m in that “don’t touch too much, just watch” phase: light check ✔️ soil check ✔️ vibes check ✔️ I’ll share photos once she’s fully settled, but for now I’m curious—do you name your plants right away, or do you wait until they show their personality? Drop a 🌿 if you’re a name-first plant parent Drop a 🪴 if you wait and let them earn it Pics coming soon 💚

Alocasia ‘Ninja’ is one of those plants that really benefits from steady, attentive care. It does best in bright, indirect light with evenly moist soil and good drainage. When something’s off, it usually lets you know—through drooping, curling, or just slowing down. When conditions are right, it settles in and holds its shape beautifully. This isn’t a plant that likes to be constantly adjusted. Big changes tend to stress it more than help it. Small tweaks, a little patience, and time to respond usually go much further. Alocasias like consistency, but not perfection.Paying attention first—and intervening second—makes all the difference. With this one, patience is part of the care.
