# This is my mass cane, the diagnosis is over watering. I have a tray…

This is my mass cane, the diagnosis is over watering. I have a tray underneath and it sits on top of the pebbles for more humidity; should I take that out? I only water the op when the soil feels dry. I work 630am-3. I try to remember to open the curtains, sometimes I forget and open it when I get home till the sun goes down.

Are you checking if the soil is dry to the very bottom of the pot? How are you checking it?

Feeling the top only if it feels dry I have been watering, but like dry dry not “damp”

#### Riley ha respondido el 2024-05-27

It’s probably overwatered, because the soil can still be damp at the bottom if the top is dry. I’ve found that the best way to check is with a wooden skewer. You stick it in the soil, leave it in for a minute, and if it comes out damp or with soil sticking to it, you wait to water.

So smart! Thank you

You can add a floor standing grow light or add grow light bulbs to a light you already own. Most come with timers.

I see you have a water jug is it overnight water or straight from the sink that could also have something to do with it also

It is distilled water
