What does it want? I didn’t water too often, let it dry out pretty well before watering again. Does it like being more wet? I had it right in a west window over the summer but it started suffering so I moved it farther away from such intense light to a north window with small amounts of western sun. Nope, went very yellow. I’m so confused. This plant is miserable. #### Autumn replied on 2024-11-01 maybe send a pic of it if you have one? i’m assuming it was underwatered. possibly overwatered too, could be either depending on. #### Holly replied on 2024-11-01 Personally, mine have always liked a bit more sun than a north window! When you say dry, do you mean dry all the way through, or just the top layer? If you let it completely dry out that sounds like under-watering! I occasionally mist mine, too. Keep a close eye out for pests as well, thrips seem to love these guys 😖 #### Aisha replied on 2024-11-01 Dry like all the way through. I assumed it would prefer that since my deliciosas and pothos like that. My jungle did contract thrips, but I don’t \*think\* it came from this one. This is the last picture before I uprooted the two main stems and decided to try propagating. The leaves got super tiny and it just wasn’t doing well. It’s still not thriving, but it isn’t thrips damage, it’s just yellowing. ![Attachment 1 of 1](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/-VZXyHvlscAPsUJyNlsxup11wJQidXl1VMee_ytNmeQ/cle0ioeET42xaOaKQRRPig.webp?size=large) ### Naomi commented on 2024-11-04 How do you make them grow like that?! Mine it’s not growing, and everyone tells me I need a bigger pot, yet my pot is bigger then yours #### Autumn replied on 2024-11-05 are the roots coming out of the pot? and are you giving it good sunlight that’s not too harsh? what’s your watering schedule and are there any pests or diseases? #### Naomi replied on 2024-11-05 Yeah the roots are coming out of the pot, I repot her last night, I think it was overwatered while I was out of town but it’s healing from it ![Attachment 1 of 1](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/qZMLfZ6D2AUT7KY--x5RaZ8KiXXeVrVOq4UPS63BEI4/VJ7JllmJR1-sVLQDG0JScw.webp?size=large) --- _Source: the Planta community (https://getplanta.com).
