May have over watered! I have never had this plant before… are they resilient or is she a goner?
2ft to light, indirect

Hello, these plants certainly don’t like wet feet. However, that’s rarely the case with leca. You can discard the excess water which may be touching the roots directly. Only fill the reservoir to below the root level.
Leca will automatically pull the water to the roots through capillary action.
Another thing a lot of people get wrong with leca is fertilising. Leca doesn’t have any nutrients if it’s own, so you must regularly add nutrients to the water for the plant to be able to maintain itself.
Hope this helps, happy growing!

Oh, that makes alot more sense. It’s probably just some transplant shock. Some plants take it better than others. You may notice some roots becoming black and melting away. It’s normal for the plant to shed some older roots since they’re for soil use, in order to promote new water roots. I believe I read it’s called ‘root melt’. You can choose to cut it away or wait for it to melt away. Either way I believe the plant will perk up soon.
Happy growing!
