Good morning!! I’m not sure if my moonlight philo is doing well. Her leaves started curling. This started happening when I gave her some fertilizer (diluted) last week. Is this normal? Or does she need more humidity?

I would say she looks really thirsty but if you watered it last week I'm not sure.. Are there any yellowing leaves? Or mabey feel if the soil is dry I dunno

Hmm, is the soil moist? It almost looks like it’s thirsty but it could very well be over-fertilized. What fertilizer did you use and by how much did you dilute it?

Oh no! I doubt it’s the fertilizer but don’t know for sure. Looks like more water and maybe less light may help. Philos don’t need addl humidity. From what I know, curling leaves means a thirsty plant but don’t overdo it. I’d also check the soil and make sure it’s well-draining.

Thanks everyone!!! When I get home I’ll check the soil again, I think it was dry…but I watered it 4 days ago…maybe I’ll check the root system. I used this orchid liquid fertilizer, diluted one teapsooon in a gallon of water and the diluted it with more water in a smaller container
