# Hiii! Back with this plant again. The plant has gotten worse, even…

_Posted by Ash on 2024-12-23_

Hiii! Back with this plant again. The plant has gotten worse, even after I cut the flower off and I changed the water. I also moved the plant away from the window because I was told that maybe it is getting too cold from the window. The plant has only gotten worse and I don't know if it can be saved. Please help?

does it have any roots?

#### Ash replied on 2024-12-23

Yes! And it has been fine for the past 5-6 months and just put of the blue started yellowing and getting worse everyday so idk what to do

#### PhiloFox replied on 2024-12-23

have you been fertilizing it at all? once they grow roots they need nutrients somehow. whether that be straight from ferts or from the soil

### Ash commented on 2024-12-23

Yes, I tried fertilizing it just a few days ago and it has just been getting worse

#### PhiloFox replied on 2024-12-23

hmmmmm what's the lighting like? do you keep the water fresh?

### Ash commented on 2024-12-23

I change the water every 3-4 days or so and it used to be in my window seal but yesterday I moved it away because people told me maybe the cold from being next to the window is making it worse

#### PhiloFox replied on 2024-12-23

maybe a grow light will help?

### Alyssa commented on 2024-12-23

Was it next to any other plants at any point? Also can you post a pic of the roots

### Ash commented on 2024-12-23

I'll try getting a grow light, thanks!

### Ash commented on 2024-12-23

Yes it was next to my bonsai and some cactus

#### Alyssa replied on 2024-12-23

To me it looks like some type of thrip issue or rust fungus

It may be time to let this one go. Plants sometimes don’t recover even with our best efforts. You’ve done everything I could think to do.

#### Tallplantdude replied on 2024-12-24

I agree. If the leaves are gone and there isn’t any new growth, there won’t be a way for it to photosynthesize. Usually plants the have a “stalk” or nodes will bounce back tho.
