You need to fertilize it with N rich fertilizer.
I would check the roots & see whatโ€™s going on in there before you decide what course of action to take.
@MightilyTwister Hi Sue, it looks like she needs more light. 5 feet away from a light source is way too far. Try moving her closer to a bright window and keep watering when the top couple of inches of soil are dry. If the app says to water and it's still too wet wait a couple of days and then manually update the app. The watering schedule is AI run so it will eventually learn when your plant needs water and will reset itself.
Thanks all. The app says it doesn't need fertilizer and doesn't like direct light, so there are differing opinions. I'll try moving it near the window and fertilizing it for starters. Thanks again!
@MightilyTwister Definitely not direct light but bright indirect light. It's stats that you entered for it says that it was 5 ft away from a light source. Moving her closer to the window will definitely help. ๐Ÿ’š
Could you please take a picture of the top of it and a close-up of the stalk? And tag me so I see it please
I moved it to a window and fertilized. Here's a photo of the top. I have trimmed off a few dead leaves. Thank you everyone!
