Have you checked for pests/disease/root rot? Are you letting it dry up before watering again?

#### Lady Lou replied on 2025-05-16

No pest

### Lady Lou commented on 2025-05-16

Fully dry

#### Ava replied on 2025-05-17

If it’s fully dry maybe try giving a bit more water, could be underwatering. Though it could be the light,did you try the botanist or “dr planta” yet?

#### Lady Lou replied on 2025-05-17

No not yet. Never heard of that. I never heard that
