HELP

My monsters just dropped a couple days ago. I was out of town so I assumed she got a little too thirsty… but I watered her and she hasn’t worked up.

Aerial roots are crazy and roots look healthy but probably getting crammed…should I unpot her and disturb everything?

Repot depends on where you live from what I read in other comments. I live in California so I repot all year long or when it’s needed. You can check the roots and see if they need to be upgraded to a new home.  
When is the last time you fertilized?  
Plants need food to help them grow and keep them going.

I’m in Canada but She lives in a Milsbo cabinet with high humidity and grow lights so I’m not worried about repotting in the winter. I’ve repotted my plants all year long as they need and they do just fine. I fertilize monthly.

I would say check to see if it needs repotting. Or more water. I don’t water mine what planta says. I water when top soil is dry. Or damp.

Yeah - I find Planta wants me to water way more frequently then what my plants actually want

Could need more light. Did you recently have a cold front lately?
