The picture with the pink sleeves on the plants was a picture of her at the store, leaves sturdy and lively. After I brought her home, I’ve been watering once a week all the way through as the app says. She started becoming droopy and so I repotted thinking that maybe she needs space. (The picture at night is how she looked after that. I also gave her chop sticks to prop herself up on so her roots didn’t pull out of the soft soil via gravity). The other two pictures are today. My boyfriend knocked her over but I don’t think that’s the culprit as to why she’s looking so sad. I keep pruning off her browning leaves but now she’s getting spots on her stem. I have misted her once as directed by the app. I’m thinking underwatering? The app diagnostics says overwatering. HELP. I’ve never had a plant before and don’t know what I’m doing ![4개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/pVwwZXcTe7nuwYSKSGVVTOhOw62vN6QZ-oUk5bJAKH8/BwqRLn26QOmzYB_zaeYLJQ.webp?size=large) ![4개 중 2번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/pVwwZXcTe7nuwYSKSGVVTOhOw62vN6QZ-oUk5bJAKH8/eb8O8xlVRTeMzjnX3VtpVQ.webp?size=large) ![4개 중 3번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/pVwwZXcTe7nuwYSKSGVVTOhOw62vN6QZ-oUk5bJAKH8/lLQ1agAZTXqJMrp_cPx2Eg.webp?size=large) ![4개 중 4번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/pVwwZXcTe7nuwYSKSGVVTOhOw62vN6QZ-oUk5bJAKH8/vXwb9e47RLSsWsd61WNeqg.webp?size=large) ## 8개의 댓글 ### Morgan T 🍄🖤님이 2024-03-07에 댓글을 남겼어요. Did you check for root rot? ### Morgan T 🍄🖤님이 2024-03-07에 댓글을 남겼어요. If the roots are brown/black and mushy they need to be cut off #### \<3 Lilith \<3님이 2024-03-07에 답변했습니다. I didn’t see any when I repotted ### Morgan T 🍄🖤님이 2024-03-07에 댓글을 남겼어요. Does the pot it’s in have a drainage hole? #### \<3 Lilith \<3님이 2024-03-07에 답변했습니다. A large one at the bottom, just a typical clay pot. And I have it lifted on rocks so it dries from the bottom. Could that be a problem? ### Morgan T 🍄🖤님이 2024-03-07에 댓글을 남겼어요. I don’t think so, it’s good for it to dry out in between waterings and make sure the soil isn’t still damp when you water ### Morgan T 🍄🖤님이 2024-03-07에 댓글을 남겼어요. Not enough sun maybe ### Sunny님이 2024-03-07에 댓글을 남겼어요. It seems like several actions stacking could have caused the current condition of the plant: \- It got stressed from moving \- It probably got overwatered. That made it limp and caused leaves to wither. \- it got repotted causing additional stress and increased excess water on the roots due to more soil holding water in a bigger pot. This made overwatering worse. I recommend only watering when the soil is dry regardless of Planta notifications. This means checking with a bamboo skewer before watering that there is little or no moisture in the soil. Check again 3 days later if the soil is still wet. These plants hold a lot of moisture in their stems. So, they don’t need water to often compare to the typical foliage plant. 🍀🪴 --- _Planta 커뮤니티 (https://getplanta.com). 누구나 읽을 수 있습니다. 게시물을 올리고, 댓글을 달고, 좋아요를 누르려면 Planta 앱을 다운로드하세요: https://getplanta.com/download_
