Hi Miaem! Can you link the plant card to your post? It has all the info about your plant that will help others give you the most accurate advice ๐
To add the plant's card, click the three dots (...) in the upper right-hand corner and select "edit post". Then click the icon at the bottom that looks like this: ๐ชด+

@stephonicle it says carolina but iโm 100% sure that this is a watermelon
@September789 @September789 ah, it's likely far too young for the plant identification tool to correctly ID it! But you can still add your watermelon plant manually...see at the bottom where it says "view other results"? Click that, then scroll all the way down till it says "can't find your plant?" Then you can type in watermelon, click add plant, and fill in the info.
@stephonicle ok i will do it right now โบ๏ธ
You got it! ๐
So looking at your plant card, I see your watermelon is in succulent soil mix, in a pot without drainage, and is only receiving indirect light. Watermelon's need plenty of direct sun, a pot with drainage holes, and compost-rich soil that is well draining. I'm guessing your plant is suffering from overwatering because a) the pot lacks drainage, and b) it's not getting enough sunlight. That means the roots are sitting in soil that's too wet for too long, which can lead to root rot.
