They are all less than a year old, most of them not even a few months.

Even though it was winter the whole time, they all grew like crazy, and I already propagated a lot of them and gifted them to friends.

I bought most of them when they were just two leaves big and I already needed to upsize the pot or split them.

That's why I've called the post "Spring Edition", because I suspect them to be a lot bigger in the end of the year :)

My care routine

They are in a passive hydroponic setup called semi-hydro, growing in LECA without soil.
They need to be watered with nutrient solution once every two weeks or so, depending on growth.

My air humidity is quite normal, around 50% usually, often less, sometimes more. They are quite easy to care for in my experience :)

Thanks! <3

I've never had to fight any pests indoors, besides some aphids maybe.

They are all extremely easy to manage in my experience, and I guess most of my plants are strong enough to fight for themselves.

Those that were affected by pests were also the ones that were already struggling somewhere else (e.g. nutritional deficiency)
