I genuinely don’t know what’s wrong with her 😭

I keep her moist, only fertilize like 4x/year. She gets medium light, nothing intense by any means. But she’s dying one leaf at a time 😭

I feel for you! I’m pretty good with plants and have never in my life been able to make one of these happy!

I would downsize the pot and give more light, I keep mine in a China hutch which holds at roughly 80 percent humidity and roughly 73 to 75 in temp with grow lights on 14 hour timers and regular fertilizer throughout the spring and summer

It’s ok to repot while she’s stressed?

What are you using for water? I’m awful with these plants but am helping care for a few and recently learned they are super sensitive to lime in water so you want to use filtered (if it filters lime) or distilled.

#### Ryan replied on 2026-04-12

I filter mine through a Brita-like pitcher, but maybe distilled would be best

I use silica plant food, I just buy it on amazon for like 20$ for 32 ounces and it's a couple teaspoons per gallon of water, I also collect rain water when ever it rains since my guys are all tropical
