Are tou sure you are not overwatering? Leaves can get really soggy and start to yellow when you water too much.

Just rescued one in the same condition.. just clean her roots and give her time to get the strength back ! ♥️

Might try this if increasing sunlight doesn’t work, thanks for the advice!

How often are you watering?

#### Jacob 👍 svarte den 2024-02-22

About every 2-3 weeks, I think it’s a sunlight issue

Less water more sun but not too much sun!

I’ll try giving it more sun as currently it’s in a low light area, currently following what the app recommends for water.

It looks leggy and you are watering too much. I would cut it back and put in the bathroom. Let it dry out.

It might be a potting mix issue, as I recently inherited the plant so the mix might retain water too well?
