[ there's darkness for a moment before the camera clicks on to yukari, seated at what looks to be a kitchen table and holding a small potted succulent in her hand. the large deer antlers and rabbit ears atop her head are proof enough that it's iris, one of them twitching toward a noise off screen while she settles back in her chair.

satisfied that it's recording, she gives a little wave to the camera with her free hand.

Hey, everyone. So this "taking care of plants" thing is still pretty new to me, but he looks kind of sick, right? [ she holds the plant closer to the camera for confirmation, and she's right, it seems under the weather for a succulent. a few of the leaves at the bottom are yellow and look swollen, and when she brushes a finger against one of them, it pops off with no resistance.]

I'm not really sure what's wrong with him. Everything was fine a few weeks ago. [ her mouth turns down into a worried frown, brows knitting together as she turns her gaze from the plant back to the camera. ] If anybody has advice, I'm open to it. Tips would be great, too. Or...I dunno, anything.

[ When the video clicks on, Rey is surrounded by green. In her home the plants are only starting to really take over. ]

As others have said, definitely water it less. A lot of desert plants are able to go weeks without water, if not longer. It also might help if you get a pot where you pour the water into the bottom and it absorbs up through the soil, sometimes the leaves don't like water at all.
