Ive been watering it a lot but nit to much ofc

You’re usually able to tell if it’s caused by overwatering or underwatering. When overwatering, the leaves will droop and yellow without becoming crispy, and vice versa for underwatering, the leaves will droop and crisp and begin to curl inwards.

Do you know the type of plant this is and have you checked for pests? Also, have you been fertilizing?

I’d say that was a cyclamen. They need a lot of water.

Agreed. Cyclamen.

I learned you should Bottom water, or around the pot and not in the center of pot. Also, they don't like heat.. they oom in fall and winter, and die in spring/summer... But I guess that depends where you live!
