# I’m so sad. I got this baby a little over a week ago and it appears…

_Posted by PjJones on 2024-12-10_

I’m so sad. I got this baby a little over a week ago and it appears she’s still not doing well. I’m assuming it’s a mix of too much water and the shock (cause she was shipped from Florida to Texas). Since taking that photo the top leaf has fallen. I potted in better soil and have put her next to my pink princess philo who also suffered a move from Cali to Texas and didn’t take it well. Hopefully they can bond over their shared trauma any my pinky can talk this sad baby off the edge of death 😭

I’m so sorry to hear that! I went through the same thing with some of my plants, just “baby” it, don’t touch the leaves and just water it. With time hopefully it will get better

Aawwww does it need more light?

#### PjJones replied on 2024-12-10

lol probably I moved it to my grow light that’s on all day, just slightly out of direct so I don’t burn it

Hopefully it perks up. The hybrids to get those golden leaves can be spotty. Most of the ones i have grow really slow, and the shock from any change is real!! 🙄

Yeah poor thing its not looking good but that doesn't mean it's dead. Give it some time and it should recover. Keep it warm.

I’m hoping so! I want this little girl to thrive 🥰
