# I need some advice for my Tiny Dancer. She went through a time where…

_Posted by Whitney on 2025-08-30_

I need some advice for my Tiny Dancer. She went through a time where she was down to just about 2 healthy leaves. I repotted with better soil (chunky mix), and checked the roots. She perked up a bit and I was starting to have 5-6 healthy leaves at a time. Recently she’s starting to lose more leaves than she’s gaining again. I have her under a grow light (not much natural light in my house) set at 12 hr/day, wait till she’s pretty dry on top to water, and use liquid fertilizer as recommended on Planta. Any advice? Pictures of the current leaves and a couple I pruned off today.
