Do the leaves feel kinda soft and rubbery or are they still firm?

#### Melanie replied on 2025-02-26

Yes the leaves are soft

#### Abbi replied on 2025-02-26

So that one either doesn't have enough water or has root rot. Is the soil wet or dry?

#### Melanie replied on 2025-02-26

Dry

#### Abbi replied on 2025-02-26

So water it. If it keeps going limp like this before the soil dries out completely or before the other two need water you might be better off propping it. It sounds like it isn't necessarily root rot, it just has a smaller root system or for some reason needs more water than the other two.

I already watered it yesterday and missed it today

In case watering alone doesn’t fix it… I have one of these that remained soft/floppy despite watering… finally admitted to myself it needed more light. I moved it to a brighter spot and now it’s perky.
