# I have a pink princess here, had her for a few weeks and she was…

_Posted by Bails on 2023-06-20_

I have a pink princess here, had her for a few weeks and she was doing great, I think I overwatered her. I used the diagnose option and it had said overwatered, so I took it out of the soil to see if it had root rot. It didn’t, I switched it to some dry soil with more drainage but it just seems to be getting worse?? I haven’t watered since the switched soil, and the diagnose is now saying under watered. Not sure what to do! Advice appreciated

I swear this is me 100%! I would personally water it a tiny bit like right in the middle by the stem, so ur sure roots get some. I’m no pro, I have 100% done this myself lol after I was in ur spot. I gave it a water again when I got to this point lol She started to become happy again!

That’s exactly what I did! Thanks so much 🤞🏻

It has a pretty bad fungal infection on the leaf that’s half gone. That could be contributing to it

#### Bails replied on 2023-06-20

You think so? The nursery had told me that was just because the leaf had trouble unfurling

I’m having the exact same problem with mine! And I don’t think it’s a fungal infection because one of my leaves looks like that too.

I actually did a ton of research and I think she just got a little sunburnt in the nursery. Not super harmful but I cut off that leaf anyway to save the energy!

I was thinking sunburn but I guess I did it myself 😭 gave it too much light. I’m hoping for a recovery 🤞🏼
