# I recently repotted and watered this plant. It seems like it might be…

_Posted by Will on 2025-12-26_

I recently repotted and watered this plant. It seems like it might be growing slow from either the shock of the repot or perhaps the leaves that have yellow tips need to be pruned. The leaves went yellow from overwatering, should I prune them? My fear is that I will prune too much and shock it even more.

Yeah, i wouldnt recommend pruning if its already under dress

Ok thank you. My thought was to prune some so that it can send that energy to some new leaves but wasn’t sure if it would get worse. Thank you for your help

Is it a dieffenbachia? Those are notoriously fussy in my experience!

Yes I believe so. It was doing really well until the repot. I overwatered it. It’s been holding steady and I’ve been misting it regularly. Just growing slow and I just want to get the good energy to the healthy parts of the plant. Still learning how to care for plants in general.
