I've heard that water meters can be unreliable, so I'd recommend checking the soil with your hand or a chop stick.
4 LikesDoes your pot have drainage holes?
0 LikesYes it has one big-ish hole at the bottom! I’m so concerned about it getting damaged because of watering
0 LikesThat’s odd. It could be the soil too. Maybe it needs better draining soil. I like to do a mixture of regular soil, tropical soil, perlite, and fine orchid bark,
2 LikesShould I change the pot?
0 LikesIf it has drainage I don’t think so. I would just check the roots, repot with fresh, well draining soil, and trim off any dead leaves to motivate new growth
1 LikeWater meter are not reliable so when you check it use your finger or a chopstick. Make sure you have enough draining in your pot, you can always make more if needed too. Also I would recommend making sure your soil is the correct blend. I use equal parts Orchid Bark, Soul, Perlite. When watering water thoroughly until you see ir drain from the bottom and check back in a week unless your conditions are different from mine. I usually water when I see the leaves look funny or when the soil is around 50% dry. If you are scared of over watering water when 85% dry. They dont mind little neglect.
0 LikesMine was yellowing and looking tired. I started watering it with a small shot of silica every other time and is available on Amazon. I also repotted mine with Big Foot mycorrhizae. I learned to do this from Planta’s Wolfen and Phil and from Tanner the Planter. Give it a try! Good luck!
