Am I overwatering this baby? I know they like water but am I giving it too much water? The new growth looks good but the connecting bits look sad.

The amount of water you’re giving it doesn’t matter, it’s about how often you water it. What does your watering schedule look like? Does the pot have drainage?

I’m following the schedule Planta has given me. It feels like every few days. It does have drainage.

That’s good. Next time planta says to water, poke your finger into the soil. If it’s still wet, you might want to wait to water until the soil has dried out a bit more, usually a day or two.

I would start bottom watering these if you can. Trads tend to melt if their leaves get wet with tap water.
