i left for a week long trip and came back to my cat palm looking like this! it was super vibrant and healthy before i left and now it’s droopy and the leaves are turning brown. it was watered before and during my absence and kept near the window. can someone please help me figure out what’s wrong!!
I’m thinking that maybe it was overwatered while you were away. How often do you usually water it?

0件のいいね Okay. I think it would have lasted without water until you got back from your trip. Since it was watered while you were away and that seems to be the only thing that changed, that could be what happened. I know with cat palms you’re supposed to wait until like the first inch of soil is dry before watering again.
いいね 1件 ohh gotcha that’s usually what i do i had gotten the planta reminder to water so i figured it was time to
いいね 1件 Yeah, I think the watering reminders are good if you tend to forget about your plants. But if you’re mindful of them, I think prioritizing what they actually look like right in front of you is better than following the app because you’re there looking at it, not Planta. If that makes sense. If the app tells you to water but you touch the soil and it’s still pretty wet or you know your schedule pretty well, then err on the side of caution.
いいね 1件 Also, how long have you had your plant? If any drastic changes were made right before or during your trip that could have affected the plant
いいね 1件 i’ve had it for about a month now and there were no changes made that i know of it was just watered once while i was away 😬
いいね 1件 Also, cat palms like humidity and low humidity can also contribute to the plant looking the way it does too
2件のいいね okay i see so water less and humidity should bring it back to life?
いいね 1件 According to planta’s recommendations, it seems like a good start 👍🏼
