hiii so i’ve had lupita here for over a few months now. water every 7ish-10days & last water was on Saturday. the soil was completely dry. she was totally fine this past weekend and then her leaves started drooping ab two days ago. i’ve checked for pests, have not seen any and i treat w neem oil. i use orchid bark, perlite, & some potting soil as her mix so she has enough drainage. kinda stumped. any help would be appreciated 🙂↕️🫶🏽🙂↕️🫶🏽
Are you fertilizing and watering all the way through the soil?

It could be the miracle grow. It’s a hit or miss, also since it’s synthetic it’s not gonna help build a good microbiome in the soil leading to better plant health. There are tons of organic fertilizers, We The Wild, Liqui-Dirt, Noot, Fox Farm, Fish Emulsion, Etc.

0 J'aime I have used both Fox Farm Grow Big and Growth Technology Foliage Focus. Other people swear by fertilizer that is made of Fish poop. I did use a formula on my plants in my office that was this type of it was great but I couldn’t get past the smell. What type of light does she get in that window?
1 j'aime usually like this during the daytime. this is as close to “bright indirect light” as i could get💀
That isn’t enough light. That looks like night time 😬. Light is one of the primary indicators for the success of a plant
