# Does anyone know how to help my Chinese evergreen (Bj freeman)? This…

_Posted by Katie on 2023-07-06_

Does anyone know how to help my Chinese evergreen (Bj freeman)? This is my largest and favorite plant that I’ve had for almost a year and has usually been thriving. Typically looks a lot fuller (first picture) and in the past few weeks has been losing a lot more leaves that yellow and then slowly die. Now the back sort of has a bare spot since so many leaves have been lost, and it’s still growing some new leaves but not much. It’s about 10ft from a northeastern light window, and I’ve been following Planta’s watering/fertilizing/misting schedule. I haven’t changed anything I’ve been doing since I got it, and it’s been in the same location this whole time, any ideas?? Losing this plant would crush me, I’m trying to make sure I save it before it gets too far gone 😔

Maybe it’s time to repot it?

It might be telling you it needs more space or nutrients? If your willing to divide it, you can keep the largest cane in the same pot. It’s a great look for your evergreen.

Root bound?
