i'm sure its from lack of water? but i water them like a cup of water twice a day... no nutes or anything

Too much water and you'll get the same shock indicators as under-watering. Watering twice a day isn't usually a good idea. Stick your finger in the soil and if it's still moist it doesn't need water. If it's dry a few inches down, it needs water.

oh wow, you need to water it right away. thoroughly water when you water, dont be afraid of overwatering, just let your soil dry out between waterings and overwatering wont be an issue. you might need to give it 2 good full waterings a day, especially if its hot outside.

i water my plant about every 4ish days buy yourself a moisture meter it will tell you when to water. I'd say every two days is too much man i give my plant about 300ml everytime i water her and then leave it about 4 or so days (touch wood) i haven't had any problems yet

if the water is at all moist let it dry out a she how she is hope you solve your problem mate good luck :bigjoint:

lift method is where you lift the pot and compare it to, well, right about now. its really light, right? compare that weight to how heavy it feels after a good watering, now try to remember how heavy they both felt and water right before you hit this stage of underwatering where it becomes a problem for them. you want to water more less often instead of less more often.

wait, how big is that pot? i think i may have done my calculations of the problem wrong because i greatly undersetimated your container size.

alright, thats actually a bit bigger, but not that much actually. its def. a sign of moisture stress, just follow my other posts on when to water and how to tell when to water and you should have no more problems.
