When I overwatered my Thai Constellation, I removed it from the overwatered soil, mixed that soil with fresh and repotted so it wouldn’t keep affecting the plant

If you don't want to repot it then i would get a fan and dry out the plant that way. Then water when dry.

I would let it dry then water less

But it’s only over watered if the leaves discoloration is mushy if it’s crispy then it’s under watered

Good to know! The discoloration is soft not crispy

### The threeplantiers commented on 2025-07-26

then it’s probably over watered
