This is bubbles, and I am starting to think she hates me. She has been struggling for like 6 months and somehow she isn’t dead. She was looking better but I left for four days and now she is back to being like this 🤦‍♀️. If there are any recommendations I will take them. Thank you guys🪴🤍

Leaving Bubbles under glass in direct sun is like leaving a child in a hot car. Too much heat and no air circulation. I’m surprised it’s still alive. Try again with another plant is my recommendation.

Is there another way to keep it humid?

I had two Bubbles. They both got leggy so I trimmed the tops back to create bushy growth. Neither Bubbles liked that and in retaliation, started dropping leaves. I tried being nice and gave them the best care for quite a while. But they didn’t care, so in my retaliation, I cut them both down to soil level. They are finally starting to grow back after several weeks. I had to show them who was boss around here.

I didn’t the opposite and let it grow leggy and she still reveled so🤷‍♀️

#### Sunny antwoordde op 2025-02-23

You have to determine the cause that made them leggy: too low light, insufficient water or both. Cutting off the leggy parts won’t fix a light/water issue.

Polka dots are naturally leggy after a while. Maybe leggy wasn’t the best term. I wanted them to be bushier.
