She’s just… not looking good. I bottom water her when the soil feels dry and she’s under a grow light with a humidifier in the room. Any tips??

Well you could pull the plant and look at the roots. Bottom watering is okay but mix it up with top watering to wash away the salts😀🤔

She wants a humidity tray. Easy fix. I will attach a post that I sent out a few months ago with my personal experience with humidity trays. They work! Good luck! 🤞🏼
