My Emerald Gem Plant is struggling and I don’t know what to do! I tried different light and watering schedules. New leaves shrivel and die. Any ideas? Thank you!!

I would guess the pot is too big and the roots are staying wet too long. Try inserting a wooden stick into the medium right to the bottom and pull it out to see how wet the soil on the stick is before you water again.

Thank you! I’ll try that!
