He looks suppper dryyyyy

### Lilian commented on 2025-02-04

I would bottom water it so it absorbs exactly how much it needs and do that 1 to 2 times a week? They are super thirsty plants

Also trim all the dead leaves 😂😭

Unfortunately that doesn’t look good. I’d check the roots. I’d be surprised if there were none left. It looks like it rotted.  
You need to pot your plants in a well draining pot. Use clear plastic pots. Lots of drainage holes.

To me it looks like it was overwatered. If soil is wet that is the cause.

They are dramatic. Too much or too little water and they collapse in a big way. They are sensitive to hard water as well. Distilled or filtered water is best. Yours looks overwatered. They can’t handle standing in water if there is water in the drainage tray touching the roots. Get good drainage in both the pot and soil as recommended.

They do not like to dry out. Make sure she stays LIGHTLY but evenly moist. Mine yellows and dies anytime temps are below 68, the humidity is below 40%, and I let it sit in water, or stay too wet for too long, or let her dry out. She’s sensitive.

I’ve learned NOT to use to water. Using water from a dehumidifier or letting tap water sit for a few days before watering works best for me.
