If it is outside I would increase the amount you give it I honestly never give my plants how much Greg says I use that as a suggestion lol but with it being hot out it is probably really thirsty I would deep water her this time when you do water or bottom water so she drinks what she wants

@ZestRamarama your plant card says the pot has no drainage. Is that correct? Pots need drainage or your plants will develop fungus and root rot which lead to subsequent death. If this isn’t correct, please update your plant card. Can you provide a picture for us to review? I’m going to agree with @Michelle5986 regarding their advice. If it’s outside, I definitely provide much more water than the app recommends since it’s too hot to not flood soil or potting mix at this time of year (in the USA). I will add that I often water before sunrise in August since the plant stomata is still open and will quickly close earlier in the day. It’s too hot to wait until the afternoon or late morning. I would really like to see a snapshot first and confirm whether there is drainage or not before anything else.
