I left out of town for a week and I have not watered her. A couple of her leaves are dead, but her soil is still really wet. What is wrong with her?

Seems like maybe not enough sunlight if the soil didn’t get a chance to dry out!

Maybe to much water and not enough light

Thanks I think I need to get a grow light. My apartment does not get much sun, unfortunately.

Also if the soil doesn’t dry out within the next week or so keep an eye out for root rot

If you left for a week \& the soil is still really wet you may want to check the roots . It seems like the soil would be on the dryer side by the time you got back . That’s my first thought anyway .
