# Help 😭 my pink nerve plant has been thriving for months now with no…

Help 😭 my pink nerve plant has been thriving for months now with no issues, new growth like crazy, then all of a sudden today I notice some leaves losing their pink and drooping, ideas?? I know they aren't necessarily a fan favorite but she's usually not like other girls 😭

She is kept under a grow light also

Is the soil dry?

#### Alexandria replied on 2024-06-05

No :( I just watered it yesterday, the stems aren't soft at all like they've been before when it needed watered

Hmm 🤔 When you water, do you let it soak for a bit? It’s possible that the plant didn’t “drink” enough, or that the soil was hydrophobic so the roots weren’t able to absorb water. I’ve heard bottom watering works well for these guys

The leaves seem to die sooner than other plants. If it is turned under leaves dying from the end it will grow back more.

It shouldn’t need a grow light since it’s a part sun/low light plant. Can you put it in a humid environment with no more than 6 hours of light a day?

#### Chrissy replied on 2024-06-06

They work great in terrariums. Do you have a glass container with a lid you can put it in? I have one in an apothecary jar that grows amazingly.

I don't have anything on hand that's she'll fit in but I'll start looking!! I may try a humidifier too in the meantime because I definitely think humidity could be lacking

These are tough plants to take care of it but when you figure it out it’s incredible to see them grow.
