We recently bought a Mother-in-law plant for our son’s dorm room. He is noticing the plant is showing signs of splitting.

Question

Is this from over watering?

Answer 1

It would help to have a photo, but this can happen do to over, or underwatering, unfortunately. These should be allowed to dry out pretty thoroughly between waterings, as they are somewhat sensitive to overwatering.
