# Could someone help me? My two variegated leaves on my white wizard…

_Posted by Ava on 2025-02-24_

Could someone help me? My two variegated leaves on my white wizard are turning yellow and i’m not sure why i don’t water her very often only when planta tells me to and i have them faces away from the window to avoid burn. Any tips would help!

i let mine dry out basically completely before watering again, i hit the snooze on the planta watering alert for it today because i still felt some dampness when i felt with my finger. i would say let it dry out more?? if it starts getting mushy and brown then i would look at the roots for signs of rot

okay! it’s usually pretty dry i stuck my finger in there last night and it was bone dry

If it was bone dry then you're probably gonna need to water more often. It does look droopy.

#### Ava replied on 2025-02-24

okay planta says every 9 days maybe ill do every 7 days

#### Abbi replied on 2025-02-24

Just make sure to check it first😉. You might even want to check it at five or six days. It does need to be dry but shouldn't stay that way for very long.

okay thank you both for your help!

I HIGHLY recommend a water meter. They’re inexpensive and will tell you the real story of what the soil is doing

#### Ava replied on 2025-02-26

i have one! i’ll definitely start using it for her

#### Abbi replied on 2025-02-26

Be careful tho, some of them aren't accurate. You might want to test with something else too for a little while at the beginning to make sure.

okay will do! i have so many plants so that wont be a problem😂
