New to tending plants! Help!

#BabyBunnyBellies
I was gifted a propagated Baby Bunny Belly cutting. It did great for the first two weeks, but now the leaves are wilted/thin/moist and the plant is starting to grow away from the window. This started after some of their light got blocked (been rearranging the room). Am I over watering? Is it getting too much/little sun? Help!

Try taking a small wooden skewer and pop it I. The soil the skewer should show you how moist the soil is if it’s too wet take out half and mix with dry check roots first I use this with care a watching and a good spot to keep an eye on her status Happy Planting 🪴🌱

These need just a little water. I agree with @ZarfJade about checking the roots and soil to see how moist it is. If the roots are mushy, stinky, and/or dark colored, you may have some root rot going on. If you catch it early enough, it can be treated super easily.

One of my favorite plants! I have mine under a grow light but the wilting/thin leaves are definitely from overwatering. I only water mine about once every two weeks and only when the top two inches of soil are completely dry, while the rest of it stays moist. It doesn’t like to completely dry all the way out so be careful. This one’s kind of picky!
