# Please help my pup! I can’t figure out what’s wrong! It was doing…

Please help my pup!  
I can’t figure out what’s wrong! It was doing fine until about a week ago. It’s such a baby pup I’m afraid if I don’t do something to help it soon I’ll loose it because it’s not quite hardy enough as a mature plant.

Overwatered maybe.. I could add more stuff to the soil so it drains out quicker.

What could I add to the soil to help?

I add bark, perlite, pumice, mulch, coco chips \& horticultural charcoal chips. But you don’t have to add all that if you don’t want to. A chunky potting mix adds high airflow for maximum aeration.

Just look up different examples of chunky aroid potting mixes

Does the pot have holes in the bottom?
