# Hi folks! I’m relatively new to caring for houseplants (other than…

_Posted by Kelly on 2025-02-01_

Hi folks! I’m relatively new to caring for houseplants (other than cacti, succulents and air plants). I saved this baby from a vintage mall earlier this month. I repotted it a couple of weeks ago as it was rootbound and had outgrown its nursery pot. The leaves are still really curly, but less yellow/lime colored. Does it look like it’s recovering okay? Any advice or insight from more experienced plant parents is greatly appreciated!

I think she just needs some stabilization and she’ll be fine! Nice big window and wait until almost dried out and water really good. Check leaves for bugs 🫶🏼

Thank you!! The window she’s in front of is huge and gets a ton of light. No bugs and she’s on a good watering schedule when she’s almost dried out. Appreciate it! 🩵

Looks great!! Keep it there and keep doing what you are doing.

Thanks so much! I’m relieved to hear she’s looking okay!
