I’ve definitely had the same problem. It was either too much overwatering or a little under watering. I started using rainwater on all my plants.!

I only have watered her once since I got her ! Just repotted her bout a week ago and shes in well draining soil 🥲

I find them very temperamental. lol

Right haha I have a silver band and I’ve had issues with her before but I have found she LOVES a self watering pot, I really want to keep this big one hanging though !

#### Hayley replied on 2025-10-08

You can hang self watering pots! Just make sure your hook and screw are rated for the extra water weight

They make self watering hanging planters! I just bought one for my tradescantia. ☺️

The soil looks kinda dry, so it may be from under-watering. They prefer moist soil.

#### Bri replied on 2025-10-09

Yeah her soil isn’t dry yet 🥲

#### abitofbrit replied on 2025-10-09

Hmmm… then it may be the opposite. Does the pot have drainage? I know they’re prone to root rot.

If so, then if really could just be from repotting. ☺️
