I have what I think is a persian shield, and the leave are wilting on it. I worry about it getting worse and would like some feedback on what to do to care for it and prevent it from getting worse.

I am not sure if I am overwatering it or underwatering it. I don’t keep a strict schedule, but I roughly water it twice a week. Putting my finger in the soil, it is a bit dry at the top but a little moist inside now, not crazy moist though. I also brought it indoors a few weeks ago now for the winter, so maybe it isn’t getting enough sunlight? Any suggestions on helping my baby would be greatly appreciated!

    I’m not an expert but that looks like seasonal discoloration, and it is getting to be winter ish in the northern hemisphere so that stands to reason . Overall it looks pretty happy, but in the spring it’ll make you pretty new leaves.

      Wanted to add: it may be getting too cool at night. If there’s a warmer spot with full indoor light/partial outdoor light it may stop changing colors, but that looks like a pretty good setup as is.
