# Oh please help. I don’t know what else to do, more leaves keep dying…

_Posted by Ruth on 2025-05-06_

Oh please help. I don’t know what else to do, more leaves keep dying off, even the tiny new ones (where my index finger is pointing). I watered 5 days ago, and there has been Moderate to Full Sun for the past 2 days. It was rainy and cloudy the 2 days before that.

Today and yesterday have been really hot and I think it’s too much sun and under-watering from the past few days, but Dr. Planta says I’ve overwatered. But it’s been 5 days since I watered, and there was no excess water on the top of the soil.

The pot has drainage holes but the collecting tray is attached to the pot itself and I can’t pull them apart.  
Lexington KY, zone 7a

I think the full sun is scorching your new leaves. And your watering and pot are ok
