# I repotted my Pink Princess back in April and ever since it seems to…

_Posted by Crystal on 2023-09-02_

I repotted my Pink Princess back in April and ever since it seems to be going down. I’m not sure what to do with it? Do I repot it again and try to make better drainage or should I trim it down? I also feel like it might be losing it’s pink, it is 2 1/2 yrs. It’s growing some babies that seem to be doing good.

Wow that leaf size is pretty impressive! 🤩 Sorry it’s been giving you some grief. Checking up on the drainage would probably be a good idea if you’re noticing browning, even little dots or “rust.”  
If you want to try to increase the pink, trimming it back to your pinkest leaf might cause it to grown back with more variegation

I would also recommend removing and reporting the babies. Gives the main plant more room to thrive, then you can also check if anything is going in with the root system.

I would definitely try to give her a chunkier soil mix!! Try adding some orchid bark or lecha. It’s beautiful though
