Any tips for me…? Hi plant fam, my Stephania Erecta grew out of her terrarium. I wanted to buy a bigger terrarium when I read something about a humidity tray (I put something together real quick for now). I want to try that first, because the bigger size of my terrarium is wayyy bigger. Am I still doing her good? The humidity in the terrarium was about 70 and now it’s about 50. Now she stands not only on a humidity tray, but I put more plants around her. She is also in bloom. Didn’t know she would do that. Beautiful surprise! 🥰
