Hello everyone. I’m new to plants so any recommendations anyone can give me i’d be happy to take! I bought this plant about a week ago and it was doing very well. I watered it once (the day it was bought) and i haven’t again since i’ve read they need a water about every 15 days… so i’ve been worried to water again and overwater it. As i’m so new to being a plant mom i’m unsure of what the problem would be and i’d be interested to hear feedback from you. :)
The plant does look over water from the black mushy leaves only water it when the soil is fully wet. Make sure when you water it you take it outside or to the bath tub and fully soak it and let it fully drain. If it doesn’t fully drain you need a new pot and some indoor potting mix with extra perlite.
