You’re probably over watering. The app schedule is far from perfect. #### Kinley님이 2025-09-07에 답변했습니다. When should I water it. ### Rose님이 2025-09-07에 댓글을 남겼어요. Let it dry out a little. Water when the top 1.5-2 inches of soil is dry. #### Kinley님이 2025-09-07에 답변했습니다. I’ve done that I’ve been working on it for over a week ### Rose님이 2025-09-07에 댓글을 남겼어요. Does the pot have drainage holes? #### Kinley님이 2025-09-07에 답변했습니다. Yes #### Rose님이 2025-09-07에 답변했습니다. Hm. Looks like it gets good light. I’m afraid I’m stumped. Hopefully someone else will chime in with an idea. Good luck! ### Suzanabanana님이 2025-09-07에 댓글을 남겼어요. Are you checking deep enough in the soil? I usually stick 1/2 to 3/4 of my pointer finger, and if it feels dry but cold i wait still #### Kinley님이 2025-09-07에 답변했습니다. Thank u ### Suzanabanana님이 2025-09-07에 댓글을 남겼어요. Have you checked roots? #### Kinley님이 2025-09-07에 답변했습니다. I have not. How do I go about doing that #### Sunny님이 2025-09-07에 답변했습니다. Pull off the pot. Water if the soil and roots are dry throughout because it’s under watered. Let the soil dry out if the soil is wet because it’s overwatered. The soil will smell swampy and the roots will be mushy if the plant has root rot. The leaves are not showing signs of root rot. But, the rot (if any) must be cut out, the roots disinfected with hydrogen peroxide and the soil replaced if overwatering gets too much. I recommend using the app’s watering notifications only as a reminder to verify the plant needs water or you can quickly kill the plant. Environments, size, soil, water, lighting, etc., are different in each home. The app can’t perfectly predict when your specific plant needs water. Always check the soil for moisture. Check the leaves for a limp wrinkled look or yellowing/dryness. 🪴🍀 #### Nan님이 2025-09-07에 답변했습니다. I agree! Mine does this when he needs a bit of water, that’s how he lets me know! Sunny I love your advice always😁 ### Suzanabanana님이 2025-09-07에 댓글을 남겼어요. You could also try a moisture meter, its pretty inexpensive for a basic one if you wanna make it easier also ### Wade님이 2025-09-07에 댓글을 남겼어요. A lot of people say check 1-2” and make sure it’s dry before watering, but I’ll go even further than that on some plants to the point of almost fully dry. Also the app says “water until it starts draining” but I water to the point where I think it’s just about to start draining but nothing comes out and my plants are doing great. #### The leafy Angel님이 2025-09-07에 답변했습니다. I agree, let it dry out more before watering --- _Planta 커뮤니티 (https://getplanta.com). 누구나 읽을 수 있습니다. 게시물을 올리고, 댓글을 달고, 좋아요를 누르려면 Planta 앱을 다운로드하세요: https://getplanta.com/download_
