Candy is not thriving help!! She was doing so good then when planta told me to water (first time since I got her) it all went down hill. I did the soak and drain method, then set her on the balcony in the shade where she has been loving. Her leaves kept getting softer and disformed, I even noticed some orangey coloration. everything I read said to water but the soil was still moist. Then I suspected root rot, maybe the soil type I have doesn’t drain well enough. I checked out her roots and nothing suspicious, then I took some soil out to loosen everything up, and added some rocks in the bottom to promote drainage and decrease the amount of soil that could be holding water. I put some of her strings into the soil to hopefully grow some new roots and revive what I had left, that’s why she looks so skinny compared to the older pics I have. I also moved her inside by a window as I live in a hot place so I feared maybe the heat was too much. Sorry for the novel but please send help she’s one of my favorites and I’m out of ideas!!!

    Roughly how much sun is it getting/day?

    Also, if it’s been super windy, that could be causing an issue as well!

      It was pretty windy in the weeks leading up to the decline. In the morning she gets full sun till about noon, It’s a pretty deep balcony so throughout the day it’s not direct light, but partial. She was thriving before so I’m not convinced it’s the sunlight, but it could’ve just been a slow decline

      Have you updated their sizes into Planta? They might need a touch more water…also if you’re not fertilizing them 16-18 days, it could pose a problem too!

      The sizes are correct but I just estimate, I do add fertilizer with the water sometimes but I’ve only watered and fertilized once since I bought it. I’ve held off on watering bc the soil was still damp

      I have had issue in the past with drainage from soil, might need to put in new soil mixed with some perlite!

    I have this plant and Planta wants me to overwater it. I usually end up skipping a few times. The easiest way for me to tell it needs watered is the leaves. If they fold easily, plant is thirsty. If stuff, skip watering.
