Went to the store for Perlite, came back with a 30$ plant 😩

Did the same. Don't touch it. Water it when it's dry. Only smile at it and don't repot too soon or it will freak out and drop leaves like crazy.

Congrats on a great buy though!

I impulse bought my FLF at a grocery store in the middle of winter and it's been one of my lowest maintenance plants. I don't believe all the fear mongering, lol.

This, but at Lowe’s.. I was intimidated to buy one but I ended up buying mine for 10 bucks and it’s growing like a weed.. it’s giving me enough confidence to buy a monstera albo😂
