My Purple Velvet is a little droopy and I’m not sure what...

#PurpleVelvetPlant I just recently got this Purple Violet and already it’s looking a little sad and droopy. It wasn’t like this when I got it and I’ve been giving it water so I’m not sure whats wrong. Maybe I need less water, better soil, or less sunlight?

@RichMedeola18 Aria’s definitely throwing a velvet tantrum Purple Velvets are drama queens about moisture too much water and they droop like they just got dumped. Try letting her dry out a bit more between waterings and double check that the pot drains well under those rocks. Also, she likes bright indirect light, so east is great, just no sunbathing! She’ll bounce back once she’s done being extra.
Thank you! I’ll definitely let her dry out. She is in an East facing window so hopefully she’ll be happy with just some dryer soil!
@RichMedeola18 Sounds perfect! That east-facing window plus some chill time between waterings should have her back to her velvety diva self in no time Sometimes all they need is a little space and a touch of dry sass. You got this, plant parent!
