# I noticed about a week ago my fittonia was drooping and the leaves…

_Posted by Mikala on 2023-02-27_

I noticed about a week ago my fittonia was drooping and the leaves were going limp. I moved it to a brighter spot because I thought it wasn’t getting enough light but turns out I overwatered it ): so the internet told me to repot into fresh dry soil and I did so a couple days ago. How long should I wait before I water again?

Great that you checked the soil and repotted it! 🙌 since you’ve waited a couple of days after repotting I would check the first inch of the soil and if it’s on the dry side I recommend watering it now (since they can’t handle drying up completely either) 😅🪴
