I took advice from one group member here and transported it into a smaller pot. I checked its roots and so far it looked pretty good. Looks like keeping it in a bigger pot made the poor thing take in too much water. I made sure to put it in tropical soil this time along with some LECA balls, topped it off with Epsom salt and poured some water mixed in with Superthrive (to help it thrive with its new pot) along with a seaweed/kelp fertilizer. I’m keeping it in a shady spot so can adjust to its new pot.

Has your pots got holes in for drainage? I always leave my plants in the plastic pots and the sit them into fancy ones if that makes sense. Xxx

Oh yes! I made sure it had drainage before I bought the pot.
