Are you asking for my advice?

#### Kim replied on 2025-06-21

Yes of course.

It’s hard for me to say because I don’t know the conditions your plant is or has been living in. It looks like you have it in some nice chunky aroid soil so that’s good! My best guess is a watering issue based on the photo. You might have the beginnings of a fungal infection based on that brown spot on the left side

This is Genevieve now. I think she may need some water but I’m scare to water her. I’m scared of root rot. That’s what happened to my last one.

I’d stick my finger as far down into the pot as I can or use a chopstick and see if it comes out dry or damp. You could also lift the pot to judge whether it needs water or not. But it does look like it could use some water since it’s drooping

#### Kim replied on 2025-06-29

I use skewer sticks to check my plants and I used one and the very tip was a little wet. I mean just a little bit. I may wait a couple more days. What do you think?

#### Tee Jay replied on 2025-07-08

Sounds good to me
