Here is the actual original . I accidentally copied the same link twice in my opening statement . Before uspez editing After uspez editing <| sep |> now more like little waterings 23 times to keep soil moist . This is going to kill it with root rot due to overwatering . Ironically , one of the symptoms of overwatering is a wilted plant . Normally the spaces between the soil particles where the fine root hairs live are filled with air . These roots are tasked with uptaking water and nutrients for the plant , and they need oxygen to live . When you water , these spaces are temporarily filled with water , but then gravity pulls the excess downwards and out the bottom drainage hole , leaving a thin film of water molecules coating the soil particles , and the spaces are once again filled with air . If you water too frequently , the spaces are continually filled with water , and the fine root hairs begin to die for lack of oxygen . Anaerobic rot bacteria begin to proliferate , and as the roots begin to die and rot , they are no longer uptaking water , and thus the plant wilts for lack of water . We say the plant has root rot due to overwatering , and the classic symptom is a wilted plant sitting in wet soil . The soil is wet ! How is it wilted ? So you never water in constant little dribbles , because keeping the soil wet is the wrong thing . Water it only when you stick your finger into the soil and it feels dry about 12 down . If the plant is still getting dry crackly leaf edges with this watering regimen , then it ' s your indoor humidity and you should put it on a pebble tray , or else get a humidifier for the room . I will say that I have had bad luck with these myself , as they just seem to require a lot of indoor humidity that sometimes even a pebble tray won ' t help , and aren ' t tolerant of normal 25 % humidity room air .
