idk what’s going on with this guy, he only gets watered once the soil is basically dry and has a grow light/near a window leaves just keep yellowing/browning and dropping off, i even switched to watering with distilled water because i thought it was just dramatic but nothing seems to be working i got it from walmart a few months ago and treated it for pests but never actually saw any any help would be really appreciated 🙏🏻

    Hmmm is it still in the original soil from the store? These guys like a more well-draining mix so I’m thinking that could be it. Yellow leaves are a sign of overwatering (soil is staying wet for too long)

      i did change it when i first brought it home but probably wasn’t the best soil for it so i will try it!

    Mix in orchid bark and perlite. Seriously like half and half. Half soil and equal amounts of perlite and bark. Some will say even less soil lol
