# My poor plant is struggling due to the cold. According to the app It…

_Posted by Plantnewbie on 2026-02-07_

My poor plant is struggling due to the cold. According to the app It was drowning and so I repotted it using dry soil and got rid of the dead roots. It seems happy now but I have so many yellowing leaves. Someone help me save it. How can I grow the leaves back and help it grow big again.

The on top is recent. The other two is what it was before.

Give it time. It’s almost the growing season! It will likely be back to normal by April or May.

My monster gets a bit upset after a repotting so give it time. Stress from that shows up for about two weeks and then things settle down.

Cut off the bad leaves so she can redirect her energy to new growth. Make sure you aren’t leaving her sitting in the water from the saucer after watering.

I would give her a little drink of super thrive next watering and ample light.
