Misting really helps !!👌👍🏼

#### °☆♡~Tayz~♡☆° replied on 2026-01-16

The leaves or soil?

### Bunny commented on 2026-01-16

The leaves  
The entire plant  
Just plain water in a spritzer thing bottle, you can buy them at the Dollar General just plain water no fertilizer in the water just water. You’ll see how much it just misses that and loves it. Good luck.

Ok so I sprayed it with some water. But some of the leaves don't even close and it lost a leaf in the process. I just got this guy recently and I'm sure he had been poked at many times so could that be his problem? Please help

Spraying is no  
Buy a mister !!  
The mist should be soft

Not hard like from a kitchen faucet sprayer

Some of the leaves are closed as you can see but the others are scraggly... And the plant I can tell is also quite leggy.

That plant looks sad. If that was mine I’d give it some good light indirect No blowing vents shouting at it give it a little drink with some fertilizer. I use miracle grow diluted in the water container I don’t know what the watering requirements are for your plant. Mist it at least least every other day talking to it helps ha ha lol Make sure there is no evidence of bugs

### °☆♡~Tayz~♡☆° commented on 2026-01-17

I think you have to keep it moist

#### Bunny replied on 2026-01-17

Yes most definitely don’t let it dry out

### °☆♡~Tayz~♡☆° commented on 2026-01-17

It does close up at night time so that could be the issue, but I'll keep in mind misting it. Thanks 😊
