Why is my watermelon pepermonia dying? I get new growth, but then it either shrivels up and dies or the stem dies.

I’ve had the same problem and I’ll join in with the same question.

Humidity and/or light. This plant likes a ton of both

Mine does it too. I asked the same question a few weeks ago and didn’t really get any help. Wish you better luck.

I have mine next to a pebble tray with water, and two plants propagated in water so I believe it is getting enough humidity. It is also under a grow light at 75% for 12 hours. Tips? Things I’m doing wrong?
