I just watered it and I saw it when I opened my curtains. I have no idea what’s going on! I don’t think it is direct sunlight (might be) because I’ve had it in the window for what feels like a month and that’s what revived it in the first place, so what is it?? PLEASE HELP! ![1件中1件目の添付ファイル](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/9mfCXDxkAC790B-bQEahuuG2d3lJHk7o9VYsmhQtuyw/e-GBcmsOQE2a9IyNGQwfMQ.webp?size=large) ## 12件のコメント ### amberlyさんが2024-06-19にコメントしました Oh no!!! It looks so sad right now. I'm not an expert at all but do you think it's root bound? It looks like there's not enough soil in the pot. It looks like they are sensitive to overwatering as well, do you think it's getting too much water? #### Plant loverさんが2024-06-19に返信しました I’ll be adding more soil on Juneteenth (tomorrow). Maybe it will be better by then ### send\_nodesさんが2024-06-19にコメントしました Looks like the soil doesn’t have much aeration. These guys prefer a well-draining mix since they’re aroids. The soil staying too wet can cause the leaves to droop #### Plant loverさんが2024-06-19に返信しました The new soil im putting in might help spread out the water. I’ll also check the soil for wetness before watering. #### send\_nodesさんが2024-06-19に返信しました Good idea :) check if any of the roots are mushy. If so, trim them off. Also I’d recommend not using too much soil as it can lead to root rot. You want the pot size to be just slightly larger than the root system #### Plant loverさんが2024-06-19に返信しました I’m broke rn so I can’t buy the soil. Wish I could. (This is meant for your earlier comment, it keeps putting the reply down here for some reason.) ### amberlyさんが2024-06-19にコメントしました Please post an update for us!! Hoping it recovers. ### Plant loverさんが2024-06-19にコメントしました Update ish: It’s just droopy, the leaves feel fine, I’m putting in the soil today. ### Sunnyさんが2024-06-19にコメントしました I recall your previous post when it had root rot. Adding more soil will increase the chance of root rot since more soil will add more water that the plant can’t use. It needs a pot about half that size. The roots can dry out the water in the soil in a smaller pot. The soil should be near the rim of the pot to let airflow help dry the soil. A smaller pot will allow the soil to reach the top of the pot. #### Plant loverさんが2024-06-19に返信しました I would buy a new pot but I don’t have much money right now. Putting in new soil is the best I can do currently #### Sunnyさんが2024-06-19に返信しました I have been there. I understand the budget can only go so far. Try recycling food containers, old Tupperware or anything smaller that you can put drainage holes into. Because adding more soil will not dry out the water. It does just the opposite. An alternative is to move the plant into water and raise it hydroponically. You will need to clean all the soil and use a glass container or similar. There are many articles and videos on how to do this. #### Plant loverさんが2024-06-23に返信しました Thanks for the advice. I’m sorry it took me so long to reply; my phone was dead and also in a place that I forgot about for a while. --- _Plantaコミュニティ (https://getplanta.com)。閲覧はどなたでも可能です。投稿、コメント、いいねをするには、Plantaアプリをダウンロードしてください: https://getplanta.com/download_
