Hello everyone! Image Hope everyone is well. Quick question, do you think this should be repotted? Rescued her from Walmart last night. She looks happy now but wondering if it's too crowded.
TIA Image ImageImageImageImage

Yes repot. They do not use correct water. At the very least flush flush flush the media.

The plant will be stressed from being in Walmart conditions. Flowering uses more energy that the plant could better use to recover. You can try chopping it into 2 inch pieces and burying it in sphagnum. You might get it to strike a baby plant.

Yes, and use distilled water to water it unless you have a tds meter and have other water available with tds of 50 or lower.

That is an amazing find for Walmart! They must have gotten in a fresh shipment.
