Have you checked the roots at all? Might need repotting.

Do you fertilize, how often do you water? Does the pot have drainage

### Madderdebs commented on 2024-09-19

Water about every 7-8 days.. fertilize once or twice a month. I have not checked the roots.. will do so in the AM.. thanks for your input!

Yeah from what I’ve been experiencing and seeing, I think giving the roots a good check even just for ease of mind; would be good 🥰 I hope your lil guy perks up soon, my friend 🥹🫂

If it’s not root rot it’s thrips or fertilizer burn
