What’s the temperature and humidity in the room??

#### Brandi replied on 2025-11-26

About 70 degrees with minimal humidity

### Auxsman commented on 2025-11-26

I’m just thinking it could be temp + low humidity is making its roots dry out quicker.. since it’s obviously stressin for some reason!

How’s your watering schedule? Do you mist often?

#### Brandi replied on 2025-11-26

I guess I’ve never misted this plant ever. I could give it a try.

I got the 12$ 1 gallon one from Home Depot and i just let my ADHD take over some days and give almost everything a light mist from top soil to all over, then get ready to clean leaves😂

#### Brandi replied on 2025-11-26

That’s hilarious!! I love cleaning my plants. I do all the time

If you repotted it recently, this is transplant shock.

If you didn’t repot it recently, something is wrong with the roots - it’s either under watered or over watered and now the roots are soggy and can’t accept water. Keep the soil semi dry at the top layer and cut back on watering. It could still regrow roots

#### Brandi replied on 2025-11-26

I guess I haven’t thought to check the roots because it’s been repotted in the last 6 months. I’ll look tonight. Ugh. My poor plant.

#### 9s replied on 2025-11-26

sorry :( usually with a curl like that, it’s 100% roots related. Wishing you luck 🤞

#### Brandi replied on 2025-11-26

I’ll keep ya posted. Just for curiosity purposes
