I’d check for root rot

I normally bottom feed but last feeding I watered over and now it’s been 25 days since watering and it’s now so soft the leafs

Hmmm is the soil dry

Needs water 💧

It needs to be watered.

### Alyssa commented on 2024-06-25

Yeah, could be too much heat too

### Sunny commented on 2024-06-25

I’m surprised it can go 25 days and not completely dry out or show any signs of dehydration.

I recommend checking the soil for moisture. If it is still wet, then, replace the soil with a well draining mix and check for root rot.
