Underwatered? Overwatered? I watered every week and a half to two weeks. I followed planta instructions and I don’t get it

I’m no pro, but it looks under watered to me.

This looks very underwatered to me. Since you water that often and it’s already thirsty, my suspicion is that the soil has become hydrophobic. I recommend switching to bottom watering, since that can usually saturate hydrophobic soil.

Strictly following Planta’s watering schedule can kill your plants. The app can’t analyze all the variables in your home. Only water when the plant needs water. You have to check the soil to verify it’s dry, then, water. Waiting too long to water can dry out the plant. Use the app watering notifications as a reminder to check if the plant needs water. 🍀🪴

Pull that plant out of the pot and look at the roots and the soil. Overwatering is to frequent. Not too much volume. Water till water runs out the bottom drainage holes. This plant looks thirsty to me, but I have seen them look this way with root rot. Look at the roots and the soil.

Under watered is my guess. I have a hard time following this apps recommendations for when to water so I bought a meter that tells me moisture is acidity nutrient and light and I check them every week and then I’ve been able to edit their watering schedule. Every atmosphere is different is what I’ve learned depending on where you live you’re a humidity all depends on where you live and what the environment is so I don’t follow the app necessarily for watering recommendations, but I’ve been able to snooze until I know it’s appropriate, but I always check with my meter that I ordered off of Amazon and I love it and it has helped so much
