How close is it to your AC? Does it get cold from the AC? Do you let the soil dry out before rewatering?

I am currently trying to resurrect one I inherited w similar issues

I have started to let mine dry out more completely (it is also next to an air conditioner). I think i am closet to every 10 days now and I snooze if it’s still damp deeper down

I’m more or less forgetting to water it so I’m like 10 days late or so and yes, it’s under our AC heating vent in the living room so that’s the pictures are mostly in the kitchen

If you look at the picture from June, it looks pretty green though, and it’s in the same spot. I’ve had it since I’ve gotten the plant

Did you transplant it

#### Daisy replied on 2026-06-21

Nope it’s been a while since it needs repotting the app telling me I need to repot it and I haven’t done it yet

It may be heat stress,pests, and over watering
