Watering issues, humidity issues or rot.

Ok, thank you. I must be watering it too much.

#### Miranda replied on 2024-08-07

I would do research to determine watering tactics for these.

I have three of these Chinese plant as they call. I just keep a vase with water. And they grow on their own water them maybe once every other month fill up the vase with water and leave them alone maybe more water than what you’re giving it
