    Be sure the pot has drain holes. Leaves can soften from overwatering. The plant looks like it needs water based on the dried folded leaves. Bottom water. Let it sit in a container of water to saturate the soil. Then, completely drain the excess water. Let the soil dry before watering again. It needs more fertilizer. The leaves should be darker in the green areas first this variety. See my photo. The plants in the photo have timed release fertilizer, Osmocote. 🍀🪴

      This is the set of fertilizer I use. Fertilizer beads are slow release and last 6 to 8 months. I use standard Miracle Gro about once a month for the ones in the photo. They are all in 3” and 4 inch pots. I add SuperThrive plant vitamins with the MiracleGro. There are not fancy. 😁
