First blooms after re-starting AV

14 years ago

So I got this AV in January at a grocery store because I thought it had potential. Looked pretty pitiful, huh?

So I got rid of almost all the leaves, and restarted it. Here it was in mid-February. I think those spots were from being watered at the store.

And now today!

What a great eye for seeing the potential in that plant. The AV looks SO healthy now and the blooms are magnificant compared to how they looked in January. Congrats on the great job!

It was you all here that suggested restarting it. At first I just thought it might fill in better over time, but then it went to Droopville and I didn't quite know what to do with it. That old post of mine is around here somewhere, so thought I'd show you what happened with it! I'm happy with it now, the leaves look a ton better too. They were originally all brown looking, now they're nice and green.
