Trouble With My Moonshine! Need Help!

I hope it isn't dying. I'm probably guilty of underwatering. I've switched to using distilled water. Our tap water is too "hard".

Here's the particulars:

Bought 07/28/2014

Repot and last watered (that I can remember) 07/17/2015

Used 50% Miracle Gro, 50% Perlite mix.

Soil doesn't appear to be compacted.

I've tested the soil with my trusty water stick. AKA barbeque skewer stick. I was able to reach the bottom of the pot where I found the soil did cling to the stick...but it was dry. The soil about halfway down is also dry.

Should I give it a good soaking, letting it drain out the bottom? Or, just enough to get it wet down to the roots? I don't want to ruin it any more than I have. I want the new pups to survive.

Thank you for your time.


Here's some pics of the patient:I put the stakes up because the larger leaves were starting to fall over. The pups are doing fine.


This shows the yellowing on the leaves. The large leaf on the left isn't doing well. I've have to prop it up with a stake.


This is a close-up of the yellowing on the leaves.
This last one in the back of the leaf being propped up.
