I have a pink nerve that’s being dramatic. Do you think it would be an issue to repot it in cacti/succulent soil? It doesn’t like the soil it’s currently in, but it’s from the store and in the nursery pot. Thoughts or suggestions?

I would not do that. Nerve plants need to stay pretty consistently moist. Cacti soil would cause it to dry out so fast, you’d end up having to water it at least every day maybe 2ce a day. Not sure what kind of soil its in currently, but it needs something that retains moisture. I water mine about every other day and its in a moisture retaining soil.

What brand soil or mixture are you using?

Is it drooping? I would get it out of the nursery pot because it’s probably pretty root bound and not getting enough water
