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 kommentierte am 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

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

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.
