Hi everyone! So I have had my nerve plant for over a year now and it has grown so much and been beautiful up until a few days ago. I noticed it had wilted so I gave it water thinking it would perk back up the next day as it always does, but unfortunately this time it has not. It has been 3 days since watering it and nothing. The stems seem fine but most of the leaves are crunchy. What does the mean and how can I help it get back on track? I have also included a photo of what it looked like a few weeks ago. :)

    As I understand it they are low light/indirect light, need humidity, need misting, and don’t like to dry out between waterings….have any variables like these changed?

    Check for tiny pests under the leaves, if not repot - get rid of old soil and check for root rot (there will be a foul smell to the roots). If rotten roots, cut them off, repot and don’t overwater.

    Mayen you just watered too little. I made that mistake with a plant who had a chunkier mix, and most of it dried out.

    Maybe it needs some fertilizer

    This just happened to my nerve plant and it turns out it just needed repotting, the root system looked super healthy but very overcrowded so I put it in a bigger pot, maybe you could try that?
