@ChicMango44 Hi Melissa Is your Easter Cactus in a pot without drainage like the plant tag says? If so this might be the reason. Easter Cactus require a pot with drainage holes in the bottom and well draining soil like either a Cactus or Succulent mix. By the way the leaves are droopy along with it being in a self watering pot it looks like it might have gotten too much water. Easter Cactus shouldn't be watered until the top inch of soil is dry. You can tell by putting your finger down into the soil if it feels moist wait to water it you can snooze the plant on the app by swiping left. The app will bring the plant back around in a few days so you can check on it again. When it feels dry to the touch water the plant thoroughly until you see water draining from the bottom of the pot. They can also be droopy due to under watering your plant. Easter Cactus are not like regular dessert cactus. They don't like to completely dry out in between waterings.When the app tells you that it's time to water your plant always check your plants soil first before blindly watering. Sometimes we have to troubleshoot to figure out what the issue is. Unfortunately they can't talk to us where we can hear them but there will be signs. ๐Ÿ˜Š Let me know if you have any questions and we can walk through some other options and figure out what the issue is with it together.
