My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

11 years ago

    I would say to put it in a place with intermediate to warm temps, indirect light light, watering once media partially drys and wait until the plant stops flowering to repot. Then you'll want to repot it in a fresh bark, moss, perlite, etc mix. And take the succulents out... For sure....
