The leaves are wilting what should I do?

#GreenPrayerPlant
4ft to light, direct
4โ€ pot with drainage
Last watered 11 months ago
When mine started doing this it was due to low humidity. i bought diffusers to put in between plants and refill them every morning. i also repotted to a slightly bigger pot cuz it was time.
@IconVelvetbean It could be a watering issue. These plants do not like to dry out and they do not like to be sopping wet either. They like to have moist soil. I usually need to water mine 2 times per week. I water it by giving it little drinks as I rotate the pot. Hope this helps!๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿชด
Itโ€™s definitely a moisture thing. Not sure if itโ€™s dry soil or dry air but increasing both will help tremendously. They like their soil to be like a wrung out sponge, damp but not wet. Since they are tropical, they LOVE humidity.
Agreed with all points made, if humidity is an issue or you donโ€™t want to invest in diffuser, you can always go traditional with a watered pebble tray. Keep us posted!
Same thing happened to mine and the cause was overwatering
Echoing everyone and adding could be too much direct light. They don't like that either.
They do not do well under grow lights either.
Agreed with everyone.. mines a drama queen like this. Soil doesn't like to be completely dry but not too wet and likes humidity ๐Ÿค—
@ManlyKudulily hi what is that ? What type of diffusers? Mine is having this same trouble.
Thank you so much everyone! A little re-potting, humidifier and less direct sunlight did the trick!
