# Has anyone seen such dramatics? I picked him up on clearance a week…

_Publié par jlsKenzy le 2026-03-30_

Has anyone seen such dramatics? I picked him up on clearance a week ago. No major issues, no pests, only soppy wet soil and a few leaves that had died. I gave it a couple of days. Then did a repot on Wed. in chunkier soil. Trimmed some bad roots, but overall they looked great. It's been limp ever since. How long before it perks up? There are some spots, but I think it's only damage from handling not fungus. Any ideas?

Mine was pretty dramatic when I brought it home, but perked up within a week of a repot. Good look! Mine has turned out to be one of my favorites and most productive.

They are so easy to please. She will be happy in a few days. 💚💚

I never had mine do this (or anything dramatic for that matter) but they are overall pretty resilient.  
How is your lighting looking like?

While acclimating and quarantining, I kept it away from too bright or a grow light, because I think in the store it was kept shaded or poor light on the racks and didn't want to stress it with too much light. But I did move it closer to an east window yesterday. Yours looks gorgeous!

What plant is that??

It's a golden crocodile. The yellow-lime leaves caught my attention.
