6ft to light, indirect
5” pot with drainage
Last watered 2 years ago
Could it have something to do with humidity and light?
I googled the plant, and it showed that they like their soil to be consistently moist πŸ€·πŸ½β€β™€οΈ
Has it been in the pot long? Mine adjusts every time I repot it, and the lower leaves do tend to just go, if there is growth in other areas then loosing a leaf is ok! I’ve moved mine before because of cats but I’ve found mine is happiest next to a north facing window, no direct sunlight, and I live in a pretty humid place.
@Lxylaydee it's been in there 3 months. This is the 4th leaf that's yellowed off... maybe she needs a different pot and she's getting too dry.
I vote leca!
I was going to look into pebble trays and pebble vases since I have a few vases on shelves with my plants. But being in leca is like having a personal pebble tray, but still sharing.

This poor thing... you can see how it was in a smaller pot, became bound and then just right into a bigger pot. The soil is SO dry throughout and it's packed! Poor thing. And no corms here, no wonder, there wouldn't be room!
But look at those roots! #rootporn
Wow!! Obviously doing well, just needed a bit more room ☺️
