Probably too much water? Idk hard to tell. They should dry out before waterings

Does it have wrinkles on the base of the leaves if so it needs water and how much light does it get

### Yolanda commented on 2025-07-29

Looks like a overwatering issue, allow the soil to go bone dry

If the leaves are crinkly and stiff it means it’s underwatered, if the leaves are bloated and wrinkly then overwatered!
