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! ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/9mfCXDxkAC790B-bQEahuuG2d3lJHk7o9VYsmhQtuyw/e-GBcmsOQE2a9IyNGQwfMQ.webp?size=large) ## 12개의 댓글 ### amberly님이 2024-06-19에 댓글을 남겼어요. 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 lover님이 2024-06-19에 답변했습니다. I’ll be adding more soil on Juneteenth (tomorrow). Maybe it will be better by then ### send\_nodes님이 2024-06-19에 댓글을 남겼어요. 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 lover님이 2024-06-19에 답변했습니다. The new soil im putting in might help spread out the water. I’ll also check the soil for wetness before watering. #### send\_nodes님이 2024-06-19에 답변했습니다. 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 lover님이 2024-06-19에 답변했습니다. 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.) ### amberly님이 2024-06-19에 댓글을 남겼어요. Please post an update for us!! Hoping it recovers. ### Plant lover님이 2024-06-19에 댓글을 남겼어요. Update ish: It’s just droopy, the leaves feel fine, I’m putting in the soil today. ### Sunny님이 2024-06-19에 댓글을 남겼어요. 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 lover님이 2024-06-19에 답변했습니다. 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 #### Sunny님이 2024-06-19에 답변했습니다. 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 lover님이 2024-06-23에 답변했습니다. 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 커뮤니티 (https://getplanta.com). 누구나 읽을 수 있습니다. 게시물을 올리고, 댓글을 달고, 좋아요를 누르려면 Planta 앱을 다운로드하세요: https://getplanta.com/download_
