This plant is hanging, so no pet access to it. Soil currently is on the dry side, plenty of access to sunlight, fertilized a month ago, TONS of new Growth recently, otherwise appears healthy and robust. No obvious visible pests. What gives?? This is the first plant I’ve kept alive and it’s been thriving for over a year. Photos attached. ![Attachment 1 of 3](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/4D93CZJHWPjjIQWtwDULHFCGOVLEa7k3QPZWxBOfL-4/nciN0QhDQfWZ9TNyL1h47g.webp?size=large) ![Attachment 2 of 3](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/4D93CZJHWPjjIQWtwDULHFCGOVLEa7k3QPZWxBOfL-4/GTYLKoKnTM67i3K0c2jTpA.webp?size=large) ![Attachment 3 of 3](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/4D93CZJHWPjjIQWtwDULHFCGOVLEa7k3QPZWxBOfL-4/-SxZZKhpTUWygzwOP2F_mQ.webp?size=large) ## 1 comment ### Sunny commented on 2025-06-18 It could be overwatering or possibly fungus. Check the roots for rot and for slow draining soil. --- _Source: the Planta community (https://getplanta.com). Reading is open to everyone.
