We had a pretty severe thunderstorm today with 60 mph winds. No casualties but my Pilea got a bit of a makeover. 😳 Tried gently coaxing her back to her former glory- no dice. 😂 Could’ve been so much worse so I reckon I’ll take it.

Can you prop her up gently with a ruler or bamboo sticks for a few days? That may help. I’m in MD and we just got battered

Good suggestion! I tend to be heavy handed so I gave up on helping her pretty quickly before I made it worse 🫠 I positioned her so the sparse side is towards to sun so hopefully she will naturally start to upright herself- if not, I will grab a bamboo skewer. 😂 Hope you didn’t sustain too much damage- I’ve been dreading a storm like this all year. 🤦🏻‍♀️

She’ll definitely get her act together in a couple days. She’s just being a touch dramatic right now 🤣 I didn’t have any damage. Luckily I remembered to bring my little bird of paradise inside or it would be on a neighbor’s deck!
