# In case anyone is feeling discouraged: this is the glow up of…

_Posted by Bryn on 2025-09-12_

In case anyone is feeling discouraged: this is the glow up of Phoenix. I was given a cutting with full leaves, they all fell off except one that got crispy \& sun damaged. I gave up \& thought he was unalive, put him under my desk to have a funeral later, didn’t look again until maybe 2 weeks. He had grown a set of roots in just a couple inches of water 💪🏽! I put him back in the window \& he’s bouncing back hard. Finally put him in soil a few weeks ago. So happy i forgot to have that funeral, he just needed more time 🤗
