Update:

I had noticed browning at the base of the mother plant which spread to a couple pups. Cut, cleaned, and repotted. Didn’t plan on separating but figured it’s the safest bet in case the stress becomes too much. Another pup was hiding as well so it’s a fighter! 🤞🏼✊🏼

There was green moss looking stuff on the roots so I’m not sure if that was the issue. Not sure where it came from. The soil wasn’t hydrophobic so I think it was holding moisture. No real root rot thankfully

They look happy to me. I have learned that mine don’t like being right under my grow lights, so I moved them to a more shaded spot. Now they are happy! 🤗 Who knew?

True. I’d probably be safe moving to them away from the window. They’re pretty low maintenance which is nice when you have other more demanding babies
