Dr. Hexbear what do I do? Please save her, I just got her. I don’t know how to take care of children. I’m keeping her outdoors (in New England), where babies should be kept

get a bag of your basic potting soil and a bag of perlite from the garden store or whatever, mix up 3 parts soil with 1 part perlite
plants breathe through their roots, adding some perlite (a sort of light fluffy stone like pumice, it looks there's already some bits of it on top of your current pot) keeps the soil from getting too hard packed or retaining enough water to drown the plant
