# I got this gal from Lowe’s Mother’s Day weekend and she was jam…

_Posted by Unicorn on 2023-05-21_

I got this gal from Lowe’s Mother’s Day weekend and she was jam packed with sphagnum moss in a pot that didn’t breath at all. When I got home first thing I did was water it and then I realized that she needed to be reported so she wouldn’t rot in that moss and plastic pot. She seems pretty happy and isn’t dropping flowers (like the first attempt did) but I notice even after letting her soak for a few hours till her roots turn bright green again that the leaves are still wrinkled. How can I remedy the wrinkled leaves? Is that permanent or is she still thirsty? I am afraid of overwatering.

I’d give her some time. She’s had a big couple of days what with moving to a new home and a repotting into different media.

Lovely flowers by the way.
