    Are you over watering it. Is it also getting sun? If the roots are wet that a sign of over watering. Hope this helps.

    Good Luck

    All you can do is repot it in new soil and see if it will come back for you. Get a watering meter, they only cost about five dollars. As long as you know the water requirements the meter will let you know what the moisture level of the soil is as far as the wand will reach. Good luck with Spikey!

    Claudia, if roots are wet your watering it too much. Only water when the top of soil feels dry. Plus is it getting right amount of sun?

  • Give it a try, and make sure it gets enough sun.

    Also, try to improve the drainedge- you can add epsom salt to the soil to help ensure against overwatering in the future. Best of luck!!!

      Ok Epsom salt do i drop inthe middle before covering it with soil?

    Claudia, I wouldn't give up on it yet. Try replanting what you have left. Also check to make sure you are giving it proper light.

       Im going too do all i can to make sure i can at least see it thrive... And what is that water measurer thingy i got my plants with a small fan near on medium so there is more airflow ive put in each a small jar with ACV on it im making sure to stir the soil so air gets in and stops the fungus gnats from reproducing

      AND OF COURSE ALL OF YOU WHO TOOK TIME TO GIVE A BEGINNER ME ...ADVICE ON WHAT TO DO   ...I KEEP WANTING to get more plants but i have stopped myself until I can learn how to deal with these lil pests if i dont see improvement i will get new potting soil and repott them nd go from there.... Thank you all makes me feel a bit more confident you guys are awesome
