Why are we wilting?
Hey Fam,
My variegated leopard plant is really struggling and I’m not sure why. Initially I was watering it from the bottom ~1-2x week, and the leaves and stems seemed strong. During this time the plant was getting partial sunlight as well as light from a sun lamp.
After about three weeks or so, the leaves and stems have become VERY limp and soft, like wet paper almost and I’m not sure why. My first thought was maybe it wasn’t getting enough sun, so I’ve been giving it a few hours outside in direct early morning sun-then bringing inside. No change there. The watering doesn’t seem to be an issue either as the soil feels moist and the plant hasn’t been drinking from the dish either? Unsure what to do here.
The stakes are due to some damage it took when being shipped to me, I was hoping they could be removed after a while.
You can see the difference between this picture I took today and the picture on it’s plant page when I first added it. Any ideas? The pot it’s in is plastic and has drainage as well.
