# Need help identifying if my plant is okay or not? Or if I should be…

Need help identifying if my plant is okay or not? Or if I should be improving something. All her leaves have brown tips. Except the new ones she put out recently. Put her next to a humidifier and have her infront of a growlight. Didn’t know if it was lack of light or humidity but I added those things to see if that would help.

How often are you watering?

#### Emely replied on 2026-06-05

Probably every two weeks. I use a soil meter, once it tells me the soil is dry I water. Am I letting it dry out too much?

What kind of soil is it in?

#### Emely replied on 2026-06-06

Chunky soil mix

I agree with below comment could be underwatering. Looks like a pretty chunky mix so could just need more water. In addition to using the soil meter if you can feel the weight of the pot to be extra sure. It it feels super light you know it needs water.

Possibly underwatering?
