# Help! I can’t figure out how to make this plant happy. The first…

_Pubblicato da Dallas il 2025-07-07_

Help! I can’t figure out how to make this plant happy. The first photo is when I brought her home. Since then, many leaves have started to brown and I don’t know what I’m doing wrong! I’m only using distilled water, and only watering when the leaves show a slight curl or droop. I’ve tried repotting into a bigger pot because the roots were growing out of the bottom, I’ve only gotten more brown leaves. I’ve moved to several locations as well as tried different grow light settings, nothing seems to help :( she’s so pretty but she’s stressing me out and I feel like it’s just going to end up all brown and dead soon :(
