He was so impressive when My mom and I received him from my cousin after my father’s passing! Zero drainage is most of his problem…will be fixed soon! ![Attachment 1 of 1](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/p2JoTxsYMMu1I_M_-FU0kq3BTMZh6orYbGC2TXeoBEc/t9L05hNbSp6iMeunP-pXTw.webp?size=large) ### HappyLittleLeaves commented on 2026-07-08 The progression of my prayer plant that I almost killed. 🫣 ![Attachment 1 of 1](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/eFN16pnRyXE4WXscm-PR1yF9m6hQu7932Ul8cqSln7E/KFQ8RCU-QUmEBYiUn19mzQ.webp?size=large) #### Mikel’s Plant Posse replied on 2026-07-08 Little guy sure is trying tho! #### MicAZ replied on 2026-07-08 Looks like my progression until I started using distilled water.

Maybe something with better drainage…? #### Lacy replied on 2026-07-08 I think that may be the problem! Do you have any recommendations for soil? I have it in regular potting soil (my local plant stores have no other options 😭) #### Mikel’s Plant Posse replied on 2026-07-08 I’ve found good mixes on Amazon…sometimes I still add some perlite for extra drainage. ### Christina commented on 2026-07-08 My palm has been an absolute menace after a repot.

A literal drama queen!!! I come back from a week-long trip and it lost an entire set of leaves!! ![Attachment 1 of 1](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/5-sP4G8YF3I2bHHbdPXCjwU4nl_8Gm-d_VBPpaAB2Pw/Xgy4X9t-SiC5Rlf7akSK3g.webp?size=large) ### Nikiller commented on 2026-07-08 My coleus was one of my favorite finds at the nursery on that particular trip. He was happy at home for maybe 3 days and then started growing too close to the light and burnt most of his leaves. He has moved since and is making a great recovery 1st pic is the day we got it, 2nd is at his worst, and 3rd is a few days ago ![Attachment 1 of 3](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/lWuVoSXfm0mhpdFLVG6GWzRgcJdFWwQeXC12gWazwDk/vVn4cMGPSyqdczWLx9jQKA.webp?size=large) ![Attachment 2 of 3](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/lWuVoSXfm0mhpdFLVG6GWzRgcJdFWwQeXC12gWazwDk/cOJkPNj8S46MM772xEcp-Q.webp?size=large) ![Attachment 3 of 3](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/lWuVoSXfm0mhpdFLVG6GWzRgcJdFWwQeXC12gWazwDk/ZE_-CkyRQRaRyOmQ1rhefg.webp?size=large) #### Mikel’s Plant Posse replied on 2026-07-08 Yea!!!🥳🪴Baby leaves are a great sign!!! ### ABagel commented on 2026-07-08 This Chinese money plant pup is pale and wilting while everyone else in the pot look ok. This did get dropped and mangled a bit but I’m hoping it cheers up. ![Attachment 1 of 1](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/RqtOpUo4Q-xmElqpj3BL3aAP--7fQ7-oEO53791BltM/we1HpKF5T_CfqRRHidHuXg.webp?size=large) ### Sara commented on 2026-07-09 Saddest plant right now is my cherry tomato plant 😫 it’s producing lovely tomatoes, but I woke up this morning and half of its leaves look like this. I suspect spider mites ugh. I’m hoping I’ll be able to get rid of them quickly!! ![Attachment 1 of 1](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/nHmrRUb07pMU-5gf016whQnwWz8VSqxPp04DiBjrYU8/JvJ5LhOtTTqXVAxu5wXNVQ.webp?size=large) [More comments](https://getplanta.com/community/OlSeW7UYSUWAjHlcxGdIQw/qDK8dIQKgpf1K7PRQcVLON.md?cursor=mOrEab5_wBhQb3N0cy5HZXRBbGwAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD4eJQ4iF3gGA) --- _Source: the Planta community (https://getplanta.com).
