# Hi everyone I recently down sized my lily yet it’s been a couple…

_Posted by Lydsxs on 2024-03-20_

Hi everyone I recently down sized my lily yet it’s been a couple weeks and it’s not rising. As u can see I have a few good leaves but idk what to do, the soil is moist and when I allow it to get more light it drops more? My guess is to repot again but ik it’s probably shocked. Help!!

Is that terra cotta it's in? I always recommend potting in a nursery pot and sticking that inside the ceramic or terra cotta pot after

It’s plastic with drainage

Previous it was in a plastic pot but it was too deep

Gotchya. And you used new soil? How humid and how warm is your house? I know lillies usually like it a little more cool and much more humid than other plants.

That could be the problem, it’s not that humid but I’m sure to spray it with water in the morning. Have u tried the bag method before maybe that will help 🤔

I would recommend the bag method over the misting. Misting just temporarily wets the leaves and can be a fungus' dream environment. If you can't put it closer to a humidifier, I would just keep a pebble tray close by
