Anybody know what this means??? It just looks so sad and yellow. It gets good sun and I feel like it might be the watering but I’m not sure. How can I fix it?? I need to save my baby girl 😭

    The yellow and the drooping definitely makes me think it’s overwatering. does your pot have drainage? if it doesn’t, it’s very easy to overwater the plant, leading to root rot. or maybe you’re watering the plant too often, even if you are following Planta’s schedule (it’s not always perfect). i recommend repotting into a pot with drainage and checking the roots. if the roots are white, you’re good. if the roots are brown, it’s most likely root rot. i don’t have a lot of knowledge on how to save a plant from bad root rot, except that it can be tricky to do. when watering the plant, in general you should make sure to only water when the soil is dry. good luck! :)

      If it’s root rot, you want to turn the plant out of the pot, remove any soil around the roots, cut off any withered and dead roots, repot in fresh soil, put it somewhere shady and don’t water it for a week or so to let it recover!

    Jasmine, please tell me what variegation your Angel Wings pictured there is? I have a similar one and I cannot decide if it is a summer breeze or white queen

    I actually don’t know what kind it is, thanks for your help! I actually repotted it before I saw the comments, but it’s back and better :) I definitely think it was root rot, but I thought I could come here for answers
