Do not over water them and make sure they dry out completely before watering, also give them plenty of light! They are a fun plant once you get the hang of it!!

It needs some more light. They flatten out like that when in low lighting

Thank you both! Today was the first time I've watered it cause it started to look wilty and some of the leaves were flat like that when I bought it. Hoping to give it some TLC so it can become a big, beautiful strand ❤️
