3ft to light, indirect
4” pot with drainage
Last watered 2 days ago
I wouldn’t use the watering schedule one the app because it is too frequent of a watering schedule. I would only water it when the soil is extremely close to dry.
@TopAnise17 Did anything happen recently that might have shocked them? Did he move recently? Or have a change in conditions? With shock they stop growing, can drop leaves from the shock and oedema is much more likelv since they are not drinking a lot.

Also:
These go semi-dormant several times of year August is one of their semi-dormant phases. It's normal for them to drop a few leaves during this time. Which also means they need less water. It's important for them to have this little rest so they can flower in fall for you. Make sure it doesn't get direct sun at all right now. It can have some light but you don't want it direct a grow light is fine. And NO fertilizer during this phase it will burn the roots.

Don’t follow the Greg water notifications as they are. It will have you watering too much or not enough. Use the notifications πŸ”” as a reminder to check the soil to see IF they need water.
