# Help! My poor King is turning yellow and dying on me I haven't…

_Posted by 🪴 Botanical Bekka🌵 on 2025-10-07_

Help! My poor King is turning yellow and dying on me I haven't watered it in a week I repotted in a month ago and I probably overwatered it, but it's drying out now what do I do is there any way to save it, or do I just have to watch it slowly die 😭😭😭,🙏 will it come back if all the leaves turn yellow and fall off

any signs of rot while repotting? mushy roots might mean it was previously overwatered. how is the drainage on your soil now? otherwise she def has potential and i wish you luck!!

I think I had over watered watered her at some point and that's the yellowing leaves but then I have been really letting her dry out a lot more and she didn't like them that either I just cut off the big leaf turned almost.yellow, so it's got the one healthy green leaf and a small one coming up so I still have high hopes but what a bummer

Def try higher light if you can! It’ll help the soil dry out between waterings but also make sure to not let her crisp up too much. Check the top 1-2 inch of soil once a week or so and water when that’s dry! It should perk up with a bright spot tho :) Best of luck
