Fertilizing is really a minor factor - yes it needs some, but VERY little. But living on a tree in a tropical region... that's what Catts do best. (Even in my non-tropical region, I have found that they do better mounted or in baskets than they ever do in pots)

That's some great info! I keep learning from you guys so much...Thank you
Makes so much sense and I see she's growing a root as well so I will buy some knee highs (idea from a youtuber) to attach her to the tree because I want to leave some medium she's in since it's very hot in Miami and I don't want her to dehydrate and take a step back growing.
