# Hello friends, I’m a new plant mom and would like some pointers on…

_Posted by Hannah P on 2024-06-10_

Hello friends, I’m a new plant mom and would like some pointers on the best way to care for my new pink princess! She seems a bit sad since bringing her home and has a lot of smaller leaves. Any recommendations on when to repot?

Wow look how bright the pink is!

Try to no overwater her! Also she is getting used to her environment so she is droopy but if she’s cozy she will become strong. No repotting for now, let her adjust first and maybe repot in a couple of months only

Also I only see a decorative pot, is she in a nursery pot inside or no? Might want to add that so she has drainage

yes, she is in a nursery pot inside of the decorative one. Thank you for the advice! i’m hoping she can thrive in my home :)
