Umbrella plant is not absorbing water?

I watered my umbrella plant the day before yesterday and all the water stayed on top of the soil. Today, there is still some water floating on top. My plant looks great. Any advice? Does this mean the plant is dying?

Umbrella plant is not absorbing water?
It sounds as though a crust has formed on top of the soil. I've seen this happen to plants that dont get alot of water, but then umbrella plants only like a little water at a time.





I would try watering it just a tiny bit every other day to keep the soil moist. It will absorbe and hold more water after several days.


Good luck.
Reply:The problem may be with the soil you are using and not the plant. Is the soil maybe too thick or clay-like? Try repotting in a thinner soil mix so that the water can penetrate the soil and reach the roots of your plant.
Reply:Did you over water it sometimes if you do that the water wont go away for a bit.Or if your plant is in good shape maby its only drinks a little water.
