# Help! I planted these cuttings that were propagated in water and kept…

_Posted by Dr on 2023-07-29_

Help! I planted these cuttings that were propagated in water and kept soil moist.. it’s about 3 weeks LL after and some of the larger leaves have completely drooped😪 anyone have any idea what my issue may be or suggestions? I just put it outside this morning because I suspected that the soil was too moist/ maybe it’s overwatered so attempting to dry out for now in the sun. Thanks!

Does your container have drainage? It looks like there is water sitting at the bottom of the container. Poke a few holes in the bottom and let that water out!

I second this suggestion 🙂

Yes, there are drainage hokes

If there are drainage holes let the soil get fairly dry before watering again. How were the roots on the cuttings when you put them in soil? Did they have any new stem offshoots?
