maybe needs water, too dry? ikea doesn’t take very good care of their plants i’ve bought 3 from there and they were in terrible condition when i bought them. also repotting them because the soil they use are not the best. everytime i walk by the plant section i cry inside because they all look so depressed

THANK YOU SO MUCH, I will definitely reply them tomorrow! I’ve just got into plants recently so I’m trying my best. One more question, my instructions only said water often, but even if I water often, how much water should I give?

#### kenzi respondió el 2023-10-13

i would water until it drains out the bottom then let it all drain before putting back into decorative pot ( if it’s in one )

Check for spider mites also. I had one and the leaves kept loosing their color. It looked faded and speckled. It maybe the lighting but yours looks similar to how mine was.

You were correct, I do indeed have spider mites😔. I’m gonna buy some alcohol to spray it off as soon as possible. Thank you!

YW!! Also look into systemic graduals. They’ve been the most efficient for me with fighting pests and making sure they don’t spread to my other plants

Looks thirsty! The soil might be too compact and it isn’t getting nutrients.
