how often are you watering? it looks like overwatering to me

#### Mya’s Plant Journey님이 2025-07-17에 답변했습니다.

I water only when the soil is dry about an inch from the top, I haven’t had any issues doing that but I think I overwatered when I did the last watering because the brown is very new…

#### Gecko님이 2025-07-17에 답변했습니다.

yeah maybe so. I try to get deeper than just an inch when checking for soil wetness to avoid this exact thing. It’ll bounce back though!

I’ve been using wooden coffee stirrers to measure for moisture and one person on here said he uses wooden (prob disposable) chopsticks! Brilliant idea! Either one really shows the wetness!

Definitely going to start doing this thank you!

If the leaves are mushy they’re over watered if there crispy they’re under watered
