@KeyRose16 Yes you may want to transplant due to soil it looks bad . You however don’t have to go bigger just another chance to overwater . Once the tuff is done the plant normally dies giving you pups at base to start over again. They like to dry out completely before watering again. If you had it hanging on the wall squirting. Would be sufficient . Clean the bottom up and your pups should be coming .
Hi Tamara, welcome to Greg 😊 I got this plant when my mom died. I had to do a little research as I never had one before. I’m copying and pasting what google said. If you get a chance, google β€œdroop head tufted airplane care”, and you’ll find tons of info! ………”Lighting: Place them in bright, filtered light (like near an east or west-facing window). Too much direct, hot sun will burn the foliage, while too little will stretch out the leaves. Watering: Submerge the plant in a bowl of filtered or rainwater for 20-30 minutes. If you are experiencing dry, low-humidity conditions, this soak should happen once or twice a week. Drying (Crucial): Never let water pool in the center or base of the plant for more than 4 hours, as this quickly leads to rot. Always shake off excess droplets and dry the plant upside down or tilted in a well-ventilated area. Temperature & Humidity: Maintain a comfortable indoor temperature between 65Β°F and 85Β°F. Aim for 50-70% humidity to keep the leaf tips from browning.” I hope this helps!
