Also there is a square foot BLOCK of condensed potting soil that I removed from a pot to add a bunch of coarser material to that is sitting on my back deck on a tarp because I need it to dry out. That's what my poor ferns were languishing in. The pot was half the weight by the time I finished. Horrific. No wonder my poor elephant ear died.

#if this does improve things I will get a new elephant ear and replace it but holy FUCK #i dumped the pot out and was like 'hahahaha what the fuck'#anyway check your soil density folks.#first house plant first aid tip is distilled water second is 'are your plant's roots being crushed to death'#root rot and spider mites are also options but like..... look. I've never had those.
