What happened to her ?
My poor baby 😩 Her leaves were super crispy they seem to be getting a little soft again. Any ideas ?

Could be too much sun/not enough water or even possibly too much water... How often do you water her? Do you check that the soil is dry first?

Her pot seems too small to help retain moisture for a while. She seems like she dried out and got too much sunlight.

@WickedValkyrie yes I thought it was the sun as well as I endwd up moving her into more sun for a few days. Definitely regret it now. Have moved her back into shade and trying to mist her leaves and make sure soil is moist.

So misting her leaves isn't really gonna do anything as plants don't absorb moisture through their leaves and if she's outside in the wind and such it's not gonna do much for humidity either... Just keep her in the shade for a bit and be sure not to over water her and create a new problem. She may surprise you and bounce back. (:

@WickedValkyrie did more than mist the leaves that’s just one the things I’ve been doing more often since Florida is very hot no rain lately . Thank you.
