@Happyface : This is what I snipped off. Isn't it weird that there is a mixture of yellow (which I think is over watering, and crispy and droopy?

Rolnwithmyhomie : Maybe time for a bigger pot.
 
@Texas1965 : Oh, I didn't think of that.

Is it getting the fertilizing plant food?
 
@MissAmericanPie : No, I have not given it any plant food. Maybe it's time?

Rolnwithmyhomie : Maybe someone is "helping" you take care of it?!?
 
@Happyface : I don't know who that would be unless it's the cleaning ladies.

@Rolnwithmyhomie : It's can't hurt. And should be done a few times a year at least. How long has it been in that pot? Sometimes they get root bound and start to look less than happy.

What's wrong with this plant? It's in my office. It was given to me after a co-workers dad passed in January. I water it every Monday and Friday and turn it at least once a week. I just cut off some ugly leaves and stems, but it looks so sad. Any advice? I don't have much experience with indoor plants.
 
@Rolnwithmyhomie : Try pulling it into a semi shady area. Callalillies can be finicky. It may also need some space, if you plant it outside they do well in moderate light and after a freeze will multiply, but usually takes 2-3 years to come back..

@Rolnwithmyhomie : If that's all you cut off, that's not a whole lot unless you have been snipping on it for awhile? The brown looks like too much direct light, burning or not enough water. I know you said morning sun but it could be hotter coming through that window. The 1 yellow leave could just be old. I agree with others here, but on top of repotting and fertilizer, I would see if I could find a spot with less direct light but for longer each day and I would back off the watering to once a week with a deep watering. Is it under n A/C vent? If, so, that will also cause issues. It seems like this is more failure to thrive, am I right? When you got it, it had a ton of leaves and now you have had to trim and trim and not much new growth? That could have to do with lighting also.

@Happyface : Well, it's just more that it looks puny to me. The laves aren't upright like they used to be. They seem to be hanging over like they don't care to have good posture...if that makes since. I haven't cut much off since I got it. It's just changed in the past week in the way it looks. The leaves aren't as sturdy; they seem wilted almost. There is some moss in the pot (probably fake)should I take that out and let it breathe?

@Rolnwithmyhomie : All suggestions are good. They like bright, not direct; so morning's sun may be too much. Is there a Venetian blind or drapes you can filter sun thru, then open in afternoon when sun is gone? On another note, it has blooms, & leaves are reaching up, not drooping. So, looks in pretty good shape. Critical not to leave sitting in water. That plant is a great air purifier. Excellent for office!😘❤️

How long has it been in that pot?
 
@MissAmericanPie : I actually was the one to buy it. (My boss asked me to get it for the passing of my co-workers dad) I got it in January from HEB. He and his wife had so many plants, so he asked if I wanted it for my office. His is a dark dungeon. There's no telling how long it's been in this pot at HEB.

@jv339 : I can turn those blinds down at night and flip them back after the morning sun goes over the building.

@Rolnwithmyhomie : I doubt it's very old then but it's a good sized plant and repotting with good fresh soil can not hurt. Then give it the plant food. Do you see any sign of bugs or insects? You could use a broad spectrum disease treatment if you think it's warranted.

@Rolnwithmyhomie : Perfect!! Plant will be happy. Give plant food once every couple of months, & no sitting in water. Should be happy again!😘❤️🙏

@Rolnwithmyhomie : Is it constantly standing in water in the saucer underneath?
