HELP! My new apoballis (had him about 2 weeks) has suddenly become super droopy! It initially started about a week ago with leaves curling so I let him dry out a little extra before watering. Yesterday he collapsed! He’s in bright indirect light, chopstick method for watering. Only thing I can think of is lack of humidity in my room, could that be the cause?

More light too perhaps? Nearly 2m away from the window is probably pretty dark for a part sun plant

What is the chopstick method??

Inserting a chopstick into the soil, if it comes out clean it’s time for a watering, if I comes out with soil on it you can wait a bit longer unless its a plant that loves water
