Hey all! I just bought this curly spider plant from Home Depot. She’s going to go on the porch but it’s currently snowing today 🥶 Can anyone tell me why her leaves are soggy and droopy, I know it’s probably over watering but I just want to make sure there isn’t any deeper issues. Any tips on what I should do? Thanks!!

If the dirt is still wet shove a tampon or two inside the dirt to soak up excess water. If it’s not already in a pot with holes put it in one. Check roots for black roots. Cut off if you find any. Clean up the lower leafs and let her dry out a minute. Hope that’s helpful

Thanks! She’s in a pot with holes, and I’ve been trimming the dead leaves. Good to know I kinda know what I’m doing lol, I appreciate the help!
