Buying Plants at Lowe's, Home Depot, Etc.
I'm fairly new at this and have two that I bought from Home Depot or Lowe's that were already in bloom. Both have bloomed two more times. I have them in a south facing window. The watering instructions say to water once per week with 3 ice cubes which I have been doing.
Recently a few leaves have been wilting so I checked out this website and have found that they are best in a clear pot with drain holes. What they don't tell you on the instructions - at least that I remember or don't remember, is to remove the clear pot with drain holes from the decorative plastic pot with no drain holes. I didn't even know there was a clear pot inside. Once I removed, I found water sitting and some root rot. So I am sure this is something to consider when first purchasing. Maybe everyone already knows this but I didn't. Thanks
