# About three weeks ago, I accidentally sprayed this plant with all…

_Posted by Godsgirl on 2025-04-30_

About three weeks ago, I accidentally sprayed this plant with all natural multipurpose cleaner made out of essential oils instead of the baking soda solution. I realize my mistake right away and rinsed off the leaves and change the water. However, the lease are very crispy. Can it be saved with time?

Yes, mine survived a cat attack and it was way smaller. Don't water too too heavily til it recovers, just enough to keep it happy. Also, totally fine to cut off damaged leaves; this is one of those ones that gets bushier if you prune it so don't worry about trimming them.

I keep mine humid in a terrarium, I just put a clear container over the pot to help it, that’s helped keep it humid.
