Progression pics ⬇️

I’ve had my Dragons Breath for a lil over a month now and it’s been fantastic until the last 2 days. The middle picture is of yesterday and the last pic is this morning. What could’ve changed over less than 24 hours? It’s an anniversary gift and I’m trying desperately to keep this plant baby alive please help!!

Is that a self watering planter? I absolutely hate those things. It looks like maybe the soil there is wet, and probably stayed constantly wet. I had a hibiscus in one of those self watering planters and constantly wet soil almost killed it. I took the bottoms off of all of mine so they would properly drain

Would it be best to switch my Anthurium to the self water planter and put the Dragons Breath in the terra-cotta pot? It was a drain hole and a plate to sit it on

It’s my personal preference, but I wouldn’t really keep anything in a self watering planter (I add drain holes). Even plants that like moist soil often end up to wet with the water that sits at the bottom of those planters. Is is possible to remove the bottom or drill holes in it to drain?
