# Please help!! I repotted a couple months ago, then noticed how much…

Please help!!

I repotted a couple months ago, then noticed how much the plant was dropping, so I tied it up- it was doing fine but the last 2 weeks the new blooms seem to be dying and one leaf semi broke towards the root.

1- do I need to repot again or just add more soil where the main roots are starting to show?  
2- how can I keep the new (semi dead) blooms alive?  
3- correct way to tighten/straighten the leaves?

The stems are sensitive, try using a metal plant prop. I have a monstera plant that’s heavy and I have to prop it up to keep it from hanging

Thank you! I order some of those now!  
What type of soil do you use? Have you repotted it before?

### Cheryl commented on 2026-07-14

I used organic soil but regular potting soil works. I also use an organic fertilizer that looks like mud😳😂

Well it’s pretty looking! Thanks for tips
