If it is not over or underwater, has it been taking up water? It definitely needs either a larger pot or to be divided. I think if it were my plant I would divide it. When I divided mine it took some time for it to recover but all pieces did come back. What did the roots look like when you transplanted it? #### Irene’s plants antwortete am 2025-02-08 I replied further down..sorry ### Sunny kommentierte am 2025-02-08 Did it get exposed to cold temperatures near an outer door or hot temperatures near a vent? #### Irene’s plants antwortete am 2025-02-08 No #### Irene’s plants antwortete am 2025-02-08 It’s been in the same place since I bought.i moved it to a more sunny area to see if it would do better, but in same room..stayed the same it had a pebble tray under it..I now moved it to a different room 3 days now with 60 percent humidity and bright..I keep a humidifier in the room I brought it to. But no change ### Irene’s plants kommentierte am 2025-02-08 Hi there, I transplanted in a larger pot..I left the soil. Around plant and added more soil under plant and above and sides..it was in a10” pot and the one i transplanted it into is 12” but quite a bit deeper.. ### Abbi kommentierte am 2025-02-08 Even if you don't think its overwatering, id still check the roots, unless you figure out it was something else of course. I just repotted a peace lilly and found out it had root rot, even tho there had been no warning signs. I didnt clean it up very well and repotted and it just went downhill now its in water in a last ditch effort to save it. #### Irene’s plants antwortete am 2025-02-08 Ok thank you..I’ll take out of pot and look at roots..is there a way to get the soil off roots without damaging? Thanks #### Irene’s plants antwortete am 2025-02-08 It doesn’t stink under pot or above container #### Abbi antwortete am 2025-02-08 If you just gently rub the soil off you should be good, you don't have to do too much just enough to see a few roots. And idk if I just have a bad sense of smell or what, but I don't usually smell anything when just the roots are rotting. If the stem is i do but not usually the roots. #### Irene’s plants antwortete am 2025-02-08 Oops sorry relied below #### Irene’s plants antwortete am 2025-02-08 Just pulled plant out roots are fine..pot is large enough..roots are far from bottom..maybe a smaller pot? ![Anhang 1 von 2](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/Jo_a1Gj5SwAHC95eWazEObWxLvPVv2W7UIBmqH8tE_8/LvBWtzwSTJKoE8zs0_Xy1A.webp?size=large) ![Anhang 2 von 2](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/Jo_a1Gj5SwAHC95eWazEObWxLvPVv2W7UIBmqH8tE_8/aw_akcn3SAqGbyn2xtmvNw.webp?size=large) _2 weitere Antworten in der App_ ### Irene’s plants kommentierte am 2025-02-08 Ok thank you for your advice I appreciate your help I will check it out out do think I should separate some of the plants? it looks like 5 in there.. #### Abbi antwortete am 2025-02-08 If you put it in a bigger pot you wouldn't need to ### Kades kommentierte am 2025-02-08 When you’re watering is the soil absorbing water? It could be that you have hydrophobic soil so the plants not getting all the water it needs ### Marc75 kommentierte am 2025-02-09 Is the soil hydro phobic? Give it a good bottom water, even if it takes a whole day to soak up water fully. You may be watering it but the soil may no longer holding onto the water so it might need that soak #### Irene’s plants antwortete am 2025-02-27 Yes this is exactly what it was thank you for your help! #### Marc75 antwortete am 2025-03-02 Something so simple 😅 --- _Die Planta-Community (https://getplanta.com).
