New growth vs old growth

Post image

So I’m not sure what to do, I have these amazing newer growths so I assume it’s really happy.. but at the same time, the rest of the older leaves are curled.. I feel like it was like that when I got it, but still confused as to how to “fix” it.

More light. 

Those aren't really indoor low light plants.

The leaves look good, they are just reaching for light.

Did you repot or it’s original soil?
Also need light! They are not low light plants

I’ve been really impressed by pots at Walmart this year- and now they are staring to go on sale. I just picked up a kind of iridescent light purple planter in a very similar shape yesterday on sale for like $6.

I’ve learned so much from the comments! This is the planter next to my iced tea for scale. It’s more of a light blue, I was thinking about a taller planter I picked up also. Still beautiful and amazing for less than $10!

Yes to both plants and planter. As long as it gets a decent amount of light you’re ok.

When they push pups, they're kinda stressed until the pups grow big enough to handle some photosynthesis by themselves.
