How are you watering it?

#### VenusFT replied on 2026-08-04

i sit her in a tray 1 inch of distilled water

too dry!!!! they need constant moisture, they're borderline aquatic. mine lives in the plastic tray that always has water in it. it also looks to be light starved, petioles with no traps is a huge red flag!!! needs more light and more water

thank you! you can’t see in the photo but her moss isn’t dry.

Just give it a lot of sun it can definitely bounce back with some consistent strong light
