# Love my PPP but I recently had to chop her top 3 leaves off as they…

_Posted by Sarah on 2024-04-23_

Love my PPP but I recently had to chop her top 3 leaves off as they were getting smaller and smaller. Repotted as hadn’t done that after owning her for 3-4 months. Root system was smaller than I anticipated so put her into a smaller pot with fresh compost and orchid bark. I wasn’t too sure what caused the smaller leaves so moved her to a brighter spot… room with south and west facing windows but not in direct sun till the end of the day. I’m hoping she starts to push out a new leaf soon but I don’t know 🤷🏼‍♀️ any advice? X

Also, she was in a west facing window previously with a wide view of the the sky. Wasn’t sure she was getting strong enough light though so that’s why I moved her to a south\&west facing room x
