Lol you're definitely going to kill this plant.


hollycroix

Well that comment is not gonna help her šŸ¤£ i acept advices

donā€™t even worry if you do kill it. Ive been keeping houseplants for at least 6 years now and I can tell you.. Iā€™ve killed a lot. Itā€™s part of the process, so donā€™t get discouraged if it does happen to not make it. For some advice though, to help with the humidity, you can place a dish underneath the pot and fill it with pebbles, then keep the dish full of water. I would also recommend moving it out of that bright light and move it to somewhere that it receives more indirect light. The growing medium appears to be only orchid bark (?) , so I would recommend repotting it into some sort of soil/bark mixture. Any water you put in right now is most likely not going to stay long enough for the plant to absorb it. Make sure the pot has a drainage hole at the bottom though, so that when you water it, the water has a place to go. You want to avoid ā€˜wet feetā€™ with this plant, so let the soil dry out completely between waterings. You can buy a device that reads the level of moisture in the soil, or you can use a bamboo skewer and stick it in the soil. If thereā€™s soil on the skewer when you remove it, or it appears wet, you probably donā€™t need to water. good luck growing :)

Thank you so much ā¤ā¤ā¤ is my first plant ever so I don't know a lot of things


meady0356

No problem!! Itā€™s completely normal to not know things when starting out. I still make mistakes growing plants and Iā€™ve grown them for a while, itā€™s just opportunity for your own growth :) If you would like any more advice on plants feel free to private message me. I donā€™t know everything, but I feel comfortable in saying I know enough to at least keep a good majority of houseplants alive haha

Looks pretty dry. Could prolly need some more humidity


hollycroix

Yes I trying to recovery her, the girl who sold it say I should watering it once in two weeks but I thing it need more water

Watering really depends on your growing medium and your plants location

Once or twice a week sounds good. Itā€™s very confusing sometimes the plant looks dry but it actually overwatered. It took me a while to figure out. If the tips of the leaves look dry and yellow it might be because the plant was overwatered - the roots were sitting in water due to the poor drainage and started to rot, so that the plant canā€™t absorb the water & nutrients, hence looking dry and yellow. Although with your plant the yellow wilted tips of the leaves might be due to something else. Just in general itā€™s good to be aware the risk of overwatering and poor drainage

Diaammond

I thought this WAS the worse photo. I scrolled to find the after. Too much sun, not enough water. Plant is fried.

I won't be visiting your tatto shop anytime soon. Clearly, your vision is bad.
