# Recently reported him as he was very root bound and needed a bigger…

_Posted by Cultish Delight on 2024-07-29_

Recently reported him as he was very root bound and needed a bigger space to grow. Since then he’s developed these 2 very soft spots on one of his leaves, which is causing that leaf to die. Can someone explain to me what I need to do to fix this as I don’t want him to die over something I can solve.

How often do you water \& do you wait until the soil dries out before watering?

Every 15 days which is what the planta app tells me but I don’t know if it’s too much of a gap. And yeah usually the soil is dried out before I re water

Leaves yellowing is usually a sign of over-watering, so I would try waiting a bit longer between waterings
