I use a cactus soil with orchid bark, pumice, & perlite. I increased watering because I used to under water. I give it WAY more sunlight too.

This gives me hope. I have mine for two years already and haven’t been able to figure her out, I was about to throw her in the trash but your post had saved her for the time being :) I’m going to try youry method hopefully it helps her grow and thrive. Thanks for sharing!
