Hmm. Every four or more weeks is pretty long for FLFs; I water mine less in the winter too, but haven’t ever gone four weeks. It makes me wonder if your soil is holding a little too much moisture. They enjoy a good chunky soil mix. If it’s not a good time for re-potting in your zone, you could try to add some perlite to the top layers of soil and gently mix it… then poke some small holes around so that it can aerate a little faster. Just a thought!
