Wilting and weak leaves :c
#CreepingJenny so I'm not quite sure how to properly take care of this plant, I spritz it every morning with my spray bottle to make sure the top layer of the dirt is wet, and I've had it for a few days now and it only seems to be doing worse. As much as I wish I knew what to do I really don't and I'd really appreciate some advice ,, I love my little guy

@StockyWoreya10 Stop spraying it daily. Although they like to be moist at all times you very well might be overdoing it . Next time it’s due to be watered bottom watering is the best method to be sure the roots get a good drink .
It’s possible that it’s underwatered despite daily spritz. The soil needs to be fully watered so the roots can drink, otherwise it mostly evaporates before they get anything. Also soil should be well draining. Unsure if this pot has a draining hole? If not be careful to not water too frequently as it will most likely develop root rot. Creeping Jennys love humidity and can dry out quickly. Likely the case if so close to a window and not in a humid environment. Mine has to watered fully every 2 or 3 days which is more frequently than Greg predicts. And even then I see a little bit of wilting before I water. Then she come back to life in a few hours. It’s a very thirsty plant and would be happier in a rainforest. So consider her natural environment as well when designing her set up.
Last bit is pot set up. It looks like most of the plant is hanging out of the pot. That can create strain if it’s still not at its strongest. It would be helpful to encourage more root strength before all the hanging. I’d redirect a number of hanging strands back into the soil to take root and strengthen the plant. And then once the soil is covered with healthy branches you can watch the hanging branches go off on their own much more healthily.
Hope this helps and good luck, you got this!
