I have her in front of a window by other plants . I have a small humidifier that I run a couple hours a day. I have a grow light for the days where it’s raining/ cloudy

When I got her she had more leaves but I cut them because they were brown and crunchy/. The ones left were the best looking. I just watered her last Saturday

What exactly are you worried about? I don’t see any obvious issues

It looks very droopy. The edges are crispy. This is my first one so I’m not sure how it’s supposed to look. It was in the clearance at Lowe’s. I went back back this weekend and saw some “newer” that looked more perky

what kind of water are u using?? the edges tend to crisp from the chemicals and minerals in tap water. i use distilled, but you can also use rain or reverse osmosis! good luck!

#### New Plant Mom님이 2024-02-29에 답변했습니다.

Distilled or water that has been sitting overnight

for the crispy edges maybe its the watering schedule? i find mine can get dry tips if i go too long without watering
