Needs more water

Thanks Sonya!

If the leaves are crispy that is usually indicative of underwatering. If they’re yellow and soggy that usually indicates too much water

Thanks Kate!

No problem!!

What would you do with the leaves? Is it ok to cut the brown bits off?

#### Kate replied on 2024-06-07

Yes because even though the brown bits are technically dead they still suck energy from the plant! It would be wise to trim back the brown bits!

It will not hurt the plant
