# Meet Regal, my latest plant rescue! 🌿 She was hiding all the way in…

_Posted by Natslikesplants on 2025-08-14_

Meet Regal, my latest plant rescue! 🌿 She was hiding all the way in the middle of the Costco rack, the last one left and of course I couldn’t just walk away. Her leaves are a little droopy, but she’s already pushing out fresh growth at the top and even some baby sprouts at the bottom. I haven’t changed her soil or added fertilizer yet, just a little root supplement from the Houseplant Resource Center to help her settle in. She’s been home with me for one week. What should I do to help her perk up even more?

I would water a lot. Mine was looking very bad but after a full watering it went back to normal.

Thank you! I was thinking the same, but was scared of overwatering it.

Np, when I plants get like the is I like to water from the top until it drains out the bottom and saturates all the soil.

You were so right about the watering! She’s thriving now and putting out new leaves!
