    Are you using tap water? Was the soil 75% dry before it got watered again? Is it in a chunky soil or just out of the bag potting mix? There’s no such thing as over watering just too frequent of watering. If it’s in a good drainage soil you should be able too completely drench it with each watering then let it dry according to plant type and repeat.

      Yes im using tap water, but its from a well and its double filtered, its in raised garden bed soil from miracle grow, thats kinda chunky buy i just bought this soil(the picture) and yeah the soil was pretty dry.

      I have this one and have had great results I used a light meter to test distance for some plants but they all seem to do well if you keep their specific lighting needs in mind when placing them. Example: my calathea and pothos are further away than my alocasia and raphidophora and I try not to have it shine directly on my BOP leaves that are really tall/close to it.

      That mix would work well, in the future it is cheaper to make a large amount of your own mix using reg pot soil and adding a chunky perlite/orchid bark mix about 1/2 & 1/2 I use this is almost all of my plants
