I am new to plants (7 months and trying) Fell in love with my first plant, a beautiful Dracaena Lisa. Im so happy to be here and hope to make a ton of plant friends! I hope I learn more about how not to kill my plants. My Dracaena has been sick for the last two months, fingers crossed after re-potting she starts feeling better. Yes, she is a she! ❤️ Looking forwars to being part of this community! ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/kZsMDuzBiW0Nswt2hTxo6GcYENZPFNl6z6OfR8a5Ibc/WxKhxNOKRfyeHiudSHmfSw.webp?size=large) ## 16개의 댓글 ### K’s Plants님이 2024-02-22에 댓글을 남겼어요.

I’m also new, but I’m super new 😂 Like a week new. Only my mom has owned plants for a few years now #### Erika님이 2024-02-23에 답변했습니다. In it together 💪🏻 welcome to being a plant mom! #### BunnyAri24님이 2024-02-23에 답변했습니다. Thank you ☺️❤️ I’m happier than I was not having any plants lol ### Gigglzngreenz님이 2024-02-23에 댓글을 남겼어요. Welcome! Did you say your plant is sick? It doesn’t look sick to me. What is wrong? It’s gorgeous! #### Erika님이 2024-02-23에 답변했습니다. It is… its very droopy and its turning a ton of yellow leaves and brown tips that I keep removing. The leaves are falling down, it should look like this. I recently repotted it, and I think its in shock 😢 ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/kZsMDuzBiW0Nswt2hTxo6GcYENZPFNl6z6OfR8a5Ibc/QPnPk71mSayZeNRHqDtsTA.webp?size=large) #### Gigglzngreenz님이 2024-02-24에 답변했습니다. I have a giant rhaphidophora Decursiva that this is happening to. I just repotted it and all the leaves drooped and are curling. I haven’t lost any leaves yet so I’m hoping it’ll come out of it. I’d let it get pretty dry between waterings. I think it’ll be okay. I hope mine will be too. 🙏🙏🙏 ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/N8o0FHN9GC2reILsVTJ_3HJdv-zoUUl_jquRarXVZAE/gumm7FW0REeWr-ezqT7ziA.webp?size=large) #### Erika님이 2024-02-24에 답변했습니다. Lets both hang in there. I am not a patient person and seeing my plant all droopy is bringing me down! #### Gigglzngreenz님이 2024-02-26에 답변했습니다. Do you have other plants? It helps me having other plants to admire that are doing well in the midst of the sick one. You can put them with the sick one and they can be its buddy while it recovers. 😊 ### Gigglzngreenz님이 2024-02-24에 댓글을 남겼어요. Yellow leaves are a sign of overwatering. Could that be it? #### Erika님이 2024-02-24에 답변했습니다. I think so! I didnt lower the water during winter and just got a moisture meter to start measuring the soil moisture before I water it again. But I think I killed it when I repotted it 😭 i didnt know what i was doing! It was my first time repotting a plant. Oh boy did I learn a ton from this. #### Gigglzngreenz님이 2024-02-24에 답변했습니다. Oh dang it! Well don’t give up yet! Not until all the green is gone. It’s big so when it comes back it’s going to be glorious! I bet it will come back. If it still has viable roots that weren’t slimy and rotted then it has a chance! #### Erika님이 2024-02-24에 답변했습니다. Love your positivity! Trying to stay positive here. Ill give it time 💪🏻 ### Gigglzngreenz님이 2024-02-24에 댓글을 남겼어요. I use bamboo shishkabob sticks to monitor moisture. The meters are not accurate enough for me. As soon as my bamboo stick starts to come out fairly dry (depending on the plant) I know to water. That might work better for you. You can get the sticks online or at the store usually in the bakery aisle where the cooking tools are in bags of fifty or a hundred. I buy mine online and I buy different lengths. 6”, 8”, and 12”. They breakdown eventually so you need to replace them every few months. #### Erika님이 2024-02-24에 답변했습니다. Thanks so much for the recommendation! I will look for these and see how it goes! --- _Planta 커뮤니티 (https://getplanta.com). 누구나 읽을 수 있습니다. 게시물을 올리고, 댓글을 달고, 좋아요를 누르려면 Planta 앱을 다운로드하세요: https://getplanta.com/download_
