How often do you water, could be over watering/under watering

#### Lynzi 🩷 antwoordde op 2024-03-02

i water it about once a week, \& i just lightly water

### Soup reageerde op 2024-03-02

Do you check the soil before you water?

#### Lynzi 🩷 antwoordde op 2024-03-02

yes i water it if 2 inches is dry

#### Soup antwoordde op 2024-03-02

Is the water hydrophobic at all?

#### Lynzi 🩷 antwoordde op 2024-03-02

well i just water it with the water out of the sink, so not sure

#### Soup antwoordde op 2024-03-02

Omg sorry I meant soil 😭 also does the water run straight through when you water

### Lynzi 🩷 reageerde op 2024-03-02

its potted with miracle grow potting mix

#### Soup antwoordde op 2024-03-02

Okay, does the soil absorb the water tho? Because sometimes the soil can stop taking in as much water and it’ll just run down the side of the pot and through the hole

#### Lynzi 🩷 antwoordde op 2024-03-02

i honestly have never had any drainage out of the pot

#### Kirsty antwoordde op 2024-03-02

It sounds like you’re not watering it enough. When you water, you need to thoroughly drench it, so water runs out of the drainage holes. Then you need to let the soil dry out before you water again.

Does the pot have drainage holes? Only asking as it looks like it doesn’t.

#### Lynzi 🩷 antwoordde op 2024-03-02

yes it have one hole!

I would take her out and check her soil. Make sure she has a chunky soil. I water mine about every two weeks and I drown her 😂 pictures of my girl

LOVE IT 😍😍 i was wondering if mine could be in to big of a pot, bc the roots arent to big yet?

#### Kentucky antwoordde op 2024-03-02

Yes these big girls like to be a little root bound 🥰 give her a pot that lets her be a little snug. Maybe a humidifier 😉 I have one sitting next to her and the other babies

#### Lynzi 🩷 antwoordde op 2024-03-02
