It’s okay! It’s actually a sign you’re giving it the right amount of light! But you should give the one on the left some water 💦

yes I will! he was in soil from the store that stayed wet for almost a month without me watering so he got very soggy i recently changed his soil to sphagnum moss and have been letting him dry out a little but i will for sure water him! thank you so much for your help!
