# Not sure what’s wrong? I watered it two days ago because I hadn’t in…

Not sure what’s wrong? I watered it two days ago because I hadn’t in a while, but it’s still looking droopy. I have a west facing window, so maybe it’s not getting enough sun? Any advice?

How many hours of light and how far is it from the window? Mine has been living near west facing windows for a few years and doing fine. it’s about 2-3 ft away from big windows. It gets a bit too hot so I have to block some of the light.  
Your leaf tips look a little crispy. Consider changing your watering frequency or amount of water.

Not sure how many hours of sun, but it’s probably about 7ish feet away from the window. I’ll change up watering and see if that helps, thank you!

I would say it was dry for too long. It will recover. Are you only using distilled water, filtered or rain water? These don’t like tap water.

Thank you! No I was using tap water, but I’ll start using distilled now

I’ve been watering mine with tap (or rain water when available for years) and it seems to keep growing. But everyone’s tap water is a little different so do what you think is best for your plant 🙂
