Hello! My plant looks weird. I watered it around a week ago and the soil is still wet so i don’t think it’s water but it looks like it’s missing something could anyone help me?

You probably rotted the roots with too much water.

Hmm seems strange looks an overwatering issue to me if the soil is still moist after a week, what soil is it? Any slow release nutrients in it?

No nutrients inside i add when i water and i only water roughly 1L a week in a 19L pot si it’s weird

What can i do if it is an overwatering issue? Should i depot+ cut the bad roots and plant again?

theres your problem id say, that pot seems massive my max size is 15l and thats if i know its gonna be a monster, so could potentially be overwatering with such a big pot. I would try and help dry it out with a dehumidifer or fans

has it always been in that pot?

Yee im leaning towards its overwatered man the water where the roots have not grown yet will be sort of stagnat and just sitting as theres nothing to suck it up(roots) as they will not have filled out the pot yet i shouldnt think
Keep it green dude

Update: i pulled the plant out of the pot and it was REALLY dry so i watered it it was just the top that was wet but the bottom was completely dry

You need to be sure to water FULLY when you do water, and to dry out almost entirely between waterings. Water slowly, and until water JUST starts to seep out of the bottom of the pot. Then you dont need to water again until soil is dry a good 2inches or more down (depending on pot size)

If your top is wet, and the bottom is dry, your not watering fully. What happens when you dont water fully, is you constantly have to give water near the top, which can cause stagnation and rot, as well as a shallow root system.

You dont want the soil to always be wet, the plant needs the wet>dry>wet>dry cycle in order to properly grow
