I ordered a sort of "grab bag" of varies plants online and one of the plants I received was Pearcea hypocyrtiflora. It's quite small. I keep this plant inside because I live in Illinois, and from what I've read, the plant prefers high humidity. I keep the plant in a pot with drainage holes in regular miracle grow potting soil mixed with some peat moss. I keep the soil moist and I mist the plant everyday since it's pretty dry here. Well th leaves look lifeless, droopy, and dull. Some of the leaves' tips are starting to get dry like a crunchy autumn leaf :( I don't understand this because I make sure it is always well watered. I have also read that this type of plant does not like water sitting on it's leaves....which seems to contradict the fact that it likes high humidity. How am I supposed to keep the humidity high if I cant spritz it with water? The plant get a lot of sunlight, some direct sun. Should I keep it in a place where the light is less direct? Should I put it in a terrarium to increase the humidity? I'm afraid that it will die soon if I don't change something about its current living situation :(
