# Is this overwatering or under watering?? I snoozed the last water…

Is this overwatering or under watering?? I snoozed the last water notification because the soil was damp still but now the top is very dry but the rest isn’t super dry…? She is in a south west facing window if that helps as well

I’m only a few years into learning how to care for plants better but based on what you shared and how droopy it looks, my best guess is under watered. If it were over watered, I’d expect the leaves to be more yellow around the edges.

That’s what I was thinking but I’m so afraid of rot and the soil seemed possibly damp still so thank you for the second opinion!!
