# I feel like I’m torturing this plant! I can’t get the watering…

I feel like I’m torturing this plant! I can’t get the watering straight. This is a pic of when we got this plant and as it is today. Any advise on how much and how often to water? She looks dry… I water her and the leaves turn yellow. Uggg!!

Use the Planta app for the watering schedule \& the watering instructions. Remember to put in the right information to the app for the watering schedule to be accurate! Also, it could be that you’re using the wrong type of water. Depending on where you live, your tap water can have too many minerals.

some plants are just very dramatic about their water.. try letting your water sit out a few days before watering, or you can buy filtered water but i feel like that’s a bit expensive 😅
