# Does anyone know why my soul is shrinking in the pot? I first thought…

_Posted by LearningPlantMom on 2023-06-23_

Does anyone know why my soul is shrinking in the pot? I first thought I was an overwatering issue, so I didn’t water it for like, 2 weeks. But nothing has changed.

What’s the problem?  
What should I do?

Underwatering. Mine died this way. Sadly..

You need to keep the Fukien moist most of the time. Not wet, just moist

Oh nooo I’m so sorry

Flood water it and loosen the soil, looks like it over dried and seized to the roots
