# My babies look unwell. I left them with my mom at her place since I…

My babies look unwell. I left them with my mom at her place since I had to leave for England for a month and this is how bad they’ve gotten. My mom is moving so for staging she put them outside in the on and off heat and rain. Never tending to them or leaving them inside where they prospered. Any ideas of what I should do, I want to revive them, they’re like my babies I saw grow from the smallest of leaves and were given to me. I don’t want them to die off.

The first one on the left in the terracotta is doing a lot worse than the right in the white pot. I did not tag the other plant.

Some fresh soil with a repot, maybe rinse off the roots and put them together in the same pot. Also give them some food since it’s been a while since you’ve been there, slow release fertilizer in the soil if you’ll forget if not liquid plant food will do with waterings. Give them a spa day, and maybe a chop and they’ll perk up

Ahh sounds like a great idea, thank you! I’ll gather resources for their spa day. Also, would you recommend I keep the terracotta saucer pot? Or get a different type
