My guess is either watering inconsistency, root rot, or poor nutrients. When was the last time it was repotted? How often do you water? When you water, is it a small amount or do you usually really soak the soil?

### Amy commented on 2026-06-07

It was repotted a few months ago. I water it every 11 days or so - it’s outside in the humidity now - and I fertilize it when plants tells me to.  
I don’t

### Amy commented on 2026-06-07

Water it a ton bc the leaves turn yellow and it’s so susceptible to root rot.

### Amy commented on 2026-06-07

It is in soil with perlite and orchid bark

It looks like too much light to me. Godspeed! 💚💚

Maybe you’re right. It’s on my north-facing covered porch. I may have to move him back inside.
