6” pot with drainage

@MoneyedBilberry Hector’s looking a little melodramatic, but he can bounce back! Those bottom leaves turning dark and droopy are his way of saying β€œtoo much or too little of something.” Since he’s in a west window and hasn’t been watered in 14 days, I’d bet he’s thirsty. These guys like it dry, but not desert-desperate. Stick a finger in the soil if it’s dry past the first inch, go ahead and water. Also, make sure there’s no root rot hiding in that glazed pot (which can trap moisture). Bright light is great just not frying-hot afternoon rays. A little hydration, a drainage check, and a pep talk should perk him up soon. Hang in there, Hector’s just in his flop era
