Hi Rebecca welcome to Greg!! I’m in Texas also 😊 First thing I notice is you have it in a pot without drainage? It definitely needs a well draining pot, and a soil that is well draining too. They require a temperature above 60 degrees at all times. So good move getting it away from a/c. But she does need bright indirect sunlight. I have my 2 on my back porch where they get about an hour of first morning sunlight- then shade the rest of the day (but it’s bright out here). My advice is to get it into a pot with drain holes….and not sure what soil you have it in, but I use a cactus/succulent soil and add perlite and horticultural sand. These plants don’t like wet soil! I had to repot mine because I used the wrong soil- and with that mix they are growing like crazy! When you water, make sure the top 2 inches or so is completely dry.
@SillyPlantGirl thank you so much for your advice. I’m getting started on taking care of my baby. Have an awesome day! I’m in Vernon Texas and it has been crazy hot here this summer.
