The soil looks a little dry, when’s the last time you watered?

Hi it was about 5 days ago should I top water or from the bottom.. I can never get one of these to stay alive lol

The leaves look pretty good but the stem looks a little thin, maybe the pot size it a little too big. I would have to see the roots to know but uncovering them can put it into shock so I would water first let it perk back up then in about a week or two check out the roots and see if you need to downsize

And about watering, I usually top water but if you think it needs a little soak you can just drown her in water for like 20 minutes and I think she’ll be fine!
