They looked wilty from the next day. Thought it may be shock. Was in chunky, airy soil with multiple drainage points and not in standing water. Soil was extremely wet when I took it out of pot and found this🙁 can I save them? ![Attachment 1 of 3](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/U-wjg7HX6faVci2I8RANonPRVqns8lxY_7WzJMP-Lvk/T1VaWvENTeCauxwhJ0gt0Q.webp?size=large) ![Attachment 2 of 3](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/U-wjg7HX6faVci2I8RANonPRVqns8lxY_7WzJMP-Lvk/dSoieMyzRqyl8td58Fcv8Q.webp?size=large) ![Attachment 3 of 3](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/U-wjg7HX6faVci2I8RANonPRVqns8lxY_7WzJMP-Lvk/GYupRw36RJmr-7iHPRcyJQ.webp?size=large) ## 1 comment ### Ashlynn commented on 2025-04-17 I would say it’s possible as long as the roots are not mushy and if they are, they need to come off. Have you tried Leca? I’ve not tried it but some people having good luck with Monstera in that type of substrate. It’s also hard to overwater with Leca so it’s a win win!! --- _Source: the Planta community (https://getplanta.com). Reading is open to everyone.
