What kind of water do you use?  
My mom has his plant and has great success using only distilled water .

We have filtered well water that I use…

Those rocks need to go… I’ve taken them off both of mine. I also have this issue but since I removed it from the rocks and soil and put it into straight water, it’s been recovering.

Ok yess the rocks are def glued on. And I was wondering how healthy that is for the plant. What is the best way to take it out?
