My regal shields seems to not being doing too hot… I’ve lost… _Emmyさんが2024-01-23に投稿しました_ help!!! My regal shields seems to not being doing too hot… I’ve lost some leaves and have been having some discoloration. I added something for it to climb to help the leaves from drooping as much. I feel like I could lift the entire plant right out of the soil…. I’m still a new plant mom and don’t want this beautiful baby to flop!! Any advice?! First two pictures are from today, 1/22. Screenshots are from yesterday, 1/21. Originally posted this an another group and have updated since: I watered it a day early with “Indoor Plant Food” that I have (you mix some with water) and mixed up the soil a bit to see if I could make the plant sit deeper in the soil. I also plucked off a dead leaf. It is currently in my bathroom (where I plan to give it some extra humidity when I shower tomorrow). Any tips?! ![1件中1件目の添付ファイル](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/xCB0o24IfDnfOd33BsF97B94Yeioi2Bd82m6f4Yxxbw/50db852d23e642e0a7cf3d3de52b6eca.webp?size=large) ## 9件のコメント ### Claire5904さんが2024-01-23にコメントしました How much light is she getting? Her stems do look a bit spindly. #### Emmyさんが2024-01-23に返信しました I had it near to I believe what is a South facing window (sliding glass door to my balcony) about 3ft away at one point and then I moved it further back. I was thinking of moving it to my bedroom potentially where there is a West facing window? Im not sure though. #### Claire5904さんが2024-01-24に返信しました Do you use the light meter on Planta? It’s not 100% accurate but it gives you a good idea. Some things I’ve learned about light that comes through a window…if your windows are dirty, if there are trees outside that cast shadows or obscure the sun even just a little, if there are other buildings taller than your window and lastly screens and sheer curtains can all greatly affect the light your plant receives through a window. Also for every foot away from the window light intensity decreases pretty quickly. #### Emmyさんが2024-01-24に返信しました I haven’t! I only use the free version of the app so I don’t think I have access. Those are some good things to think about, I’ll try letting some more light in. #### Emmyさんが2024-01-25に返信しました I checked the soil this evening and noticed little worms in it ☹️ I took it out of the soil and washed off the roots before putting it in some water. I don’t have any soil at the moment to transfer it to. Any tips on where to go from here? I made a new post in this group too… ### Plant Fatherさんが2024-01-23にコメントしました how often are you watering? as in, how dry is the soil? these plants also don’t usually need support, if it is droopy it’s likely over watered and/or needs more light #### Emmyさんが2024-01-24に返信しました I follow the Planta schedule for the most part, but I’ll decrease my watering routine and try to let it dry out a bit more. I’m going to adjust its place in my apartment to see if that makes a difference lighting wise. #### Plant Fatherさんが2024-01-24に返信しました planta cannot determine the moisture level of your soil exactly so it’s best to use the app as a reminder to check the soil’s moisture rather than a reminder to water. to prevent rot, always be sure the top 1/2” or so of soil is dry before watering again. a bamboo skewer can be used to check the moisture level deeper in the pot #### Emmyさんが2024-01-25に返信しました I checked the soil this evening and noticed little worms in it ☹️ I took it out of the soil and washed off the roots before putting it in some water.
