# This is Victoria, a ti plant inherited from my grandma. Victoria has…

_Posted by Bella on 2024-04-13_

This is Victoria, a ti plant inherited from my grandma. Victoria has lived with my family and I for about a year, and she has suffered some...neglect. As you can see, she is currently Not Doing So Hot™️ but she's still alive and I want to know, how can I save her?

\* I have bought a new terracotta pot with drainage, and some miracle-grow tropical plant food for starters, though I haven't repotted and fertilized yet. I must also note that the golden pothos babies that are in there (placed by mom) are pretty decisively entangled with the ti plant. I just checked the roots.

Poor Vic… how much light does she get? Maybe a grow light because they like light. Misting frequently, they love humidity unlike my hair ☺️ when was she last fertilized?

#### Bella replied on 2024-05-13

Vic is still a little unwell but she doesn't seem to be getting any worse. Since this post, she has been repotted in a terra cotta container with drainage, and been moved to a spot with indirect light. She doesn't get misted very often though, if at all. The leaf edges are curled under like they are not getting enough humidity in the air.

### Barbara commented on 2024-05-13

They love humidity and bright indirect light. I bought grow lights from Amazon to help save mine during the winter months. Alabama is very hot and humid, but I would give her more light and daily misting. 🙏🏻

Oh I live way up north it's no wonder she started going awry this winter. I repotted her in a terra cotta pot that is the same size as the old plastic one, but do you think container size may also be an issue?

This is a more recent one

Good job! She looks better already 👏🏻👏🏻 if her stem is weak, u can always support her till she’s stronger with a plant holder or rod of some sort. What happened to the Pothos?

#### Bella replied on 2024-05-13

Oh the pothos has its own container now. The plants are still neighbors. ☺️

Hahaha, awesome.. I was worried you sacrificed one too save the other 😂 good job Bella

Thank you for your knowledge too, I love being able to talk to people who Know Things on here instead of having to use oddly specific google searches for my plant questions and hoping for the best 😂

### Barbara commented on 2024-05-13

Oh hon, I’m not a professional by any means. I know what has worked for me and pass it along. I will do most anything to save a plant.. I love them.. can’t help but get attached to them. Google is still my go to when all else is falling 😂

#### Bella replied on 2024-05-13

Ah well, still, the niche solutions that other people discover by trial and error can often be very helpful!

### Barbara commented on 2024-05-13

You’re welcome, take care of Victoria.. She’s your family now 🥰

#### Barbara replied on 2024-09-19

How’s she doing?
