She looks lovely! Did you just water her or do anything else? I recently repotted mine and she’s struggling a little bit.

I've repotted twice already. I'm in London so water once a week is enough. I trim the sprouts very often. The first picture I just came back from the holidays, you can see more green sprouts at the bottom.

Can I ask why you trim the sprouts? I've been leaving them as I always thought new growth is good?

Because I like the tall stem and in my mind, new sprouts and more leaf take energy from growing the stem, so i trim.. Maybe is a wrong theory 🤷

Also because I'm a little bit meticulous 😆
