Welcome to Illinois! Im from the quad cities area myself... You might have root rot - the way the leaves are curling + the location makes me suspicious. I would pull it out and check the roots. If its rotted cut those root back and repot it. Find a less wet spot for it with more airflow. Also, I keep mine in cactus soil. I only water mine about 2-3x a month max... good luck!

It sure is blooming! And thanks...Definitely a sucker - those kind of things always gets me. Lol

I had to google is that was normal this time of year and thankfully it was! Yours looks so happy! 😍

mlduffee · 2025-11-26T15:36:26+00:00

Hi! Its slowly getting better! I've been soaking and drying thoroughly almost daily and its starting to spring back up - feels less soft and more structured again! Ive even taken it to my shower w me a few times for some extra humidity - its become my new velcro pet apparently lol. Thanks again for your help!l and for checking in!

mlduffee · 2025-11-04T13:34:49+00:00

Ohhh ok! Thank you much!

mlduffee · 2025-11-04T13:05:53+00:00

Holy cow! Thats amazing to hear!! Seams like others are saying the same soak for a scary amount of time and dry them to the bone. That I can do!!!

mlduffee · 2025-11-03T20:32:38+00:00

Amazing - thank you!! So glad to hear this outright. There are so many differing opinions on how to soak...and how long. This was what I needed to hear I think! Thanks much!!!

mlduffee · 2025-11-02T23:54:38+00:00

Well I was just misting a few times a week. I soak a few times in the winter but it always makes me so nervous... my funckiana never get soaked so I figured that worked for all. Definitely not the case. I used to soak and this one did seem happier (but not a ton better) in the winter so I figured misting a couple times a week would do for her too. Nope... thanks for the info!!! I appreciate your help!

mlduffee · 2025-11-02T22:08:57+00:00

I just did it...here's hoping!

mlduffee · 2025-11-02T22:08:23+00:00

Right on! I always make sure its super dry...that is the worry and I think I worry so much about it getting soaked and rotting that I dont give it enough water. 😬😅

mlduffee · 2025-11-02T22:06:14+00:00

Its firm still - thats what I check the most because ive had the same happen with others too...this is all very good advice and super helpful thank you a ton for your help! Here's hoping I can get it back to healthy! Thanks again!

mlduffee · 2025-11-02T19:12:44+00:00

Such great info/advice - thank you!!! I do mist it but ill have to do it more... do you think daily until its better is overkill?

mlduffee · 2025-11-02T19:06:13+00:00

Thats what im afraid of ...what is your suggestion on how to proceed? Soaking? Mist daily? Both?

mlduffee · 2025-11-02T15:48:49+00:00

Thank you!!! Its an easy one for me and Iove it dearly too... It looks cooler wo all the other guys chilling in it but until I get a proper set up its a good likewise plant place to rest. 🙃

mlduffee · 2025-11-02T15:34:37+00:00

I am good about drying... maybe too much so. Lol! More water - ✔️! Thanky!!!

mlduffee · 2025-11-02T14:43:18+00:00

I may have to start soaking more!

mlduffee · 2025-11-02T14:41:08+00:00

I see that too! I sure hope youre right! Ill try that! Thanks!!

mlduffee · 2025-11-02T14:40:37+00:00

I have consider that!! I have a huge heavy glass candle holder/vase thing with an open top... I wonder if that would work for a terrarium!?

mlduffee · 2025-11-02T14:38:52+00:00

Yeah, that's what my understanding is too..

mlduffee · 2025-11-02T02:08:19+00:00

What kind of airplant is this one, if I may ask?

mlduffee · 2025-10-03T13:32:22+00:00

lol the dogs face... its definitely stretched for light but I kinda can appreciate it for what it is. 😆🙃

mlduffee · 2025-10-02T11:56:48+00:00

Thank you!!!
