Hello

Can anyone help understand what is happening with my plant leaves. There is three that are dropping and the rest are standing up. It’s been like this for two months. It’s been recently watered.

Maybe pest or soggy soil ,, perhaps the plant is just like this ???

It’s a Chinese Evergreen, the leaves follow the light. The one in the center are doing it. I did check my soil it is wetter than normal. Before hand it’s been really dry. Do you think the pruning them would be the best option. They have been like this for a while.

Yeah maybe just cut them, or change the soil maybe see how it does then cut?

I wouldn’t cut them if they are not yellowing, brown or sick. Try rotating the pot to see how they react to the light from a different angle. My Chinese Ev. Has curled and straight leaves also but I think it looks fine. It doesn’t need direct sunlight so it should be okay. Terracotta pots tend to hold water so you wouldn’t need to water it as often but if you put the correct pot type in Planta, it will suggest waterings based off of that information.
