Questions - where is it located? How often do you feed/water it? What size pot is it in?

whymewhyme · 14/12/2021 20:58

I water it when its dry 1inch from the top, positioned on a windowsil in a 6inch pot

Is it too close to the window? Sometimes the glass gets too cold for it, and direct sunlight isn't needed - is it a bright window?

What potting mix is it in? Theses are quite easy to grow, but root rot might cause stems to die.

A pic would help.

Mine struggled in the same way you describe. I've repotted it into a clay pot with a very gritty compost (both of which reduce the risk of it sitting in wet compost) and I water it once a week. So far so good. It gets good light but not direct sun.

Mine thrives on neglect. Water when I remember. Also they have very shallow roots so don't plant in a too large pot which takes too long to dry.
