How often are you watering and how much light is it getting?

#### LadyBeeeeee replied on 2025-06-08

About every other week, or when soil feels damp…But she hasn’t been drying out like she was before.

Part shade but good light

Use a wooden skewer to see if it needs water. If there is soil on the skewer when you pull it out, it doesn’t need water. You should check it once a week vs just watering it every two weeks. If it’s damp, I wouldn’t water - yellow leaves often mean it’s over watered.

What does the root ball look like? How about downsizing the pot one size down and using a chunkier soil mix.
