# I’ve recently gotten a cheese plant but it seems to be dying no…

_Posted by M@bel.. on 2023-07-10_

I’ve recently gotten a cheese plant but it seems to be dying no matter what I do. I sized it up a pot a week or two ago but it was dying before.  
What do I do about it? ( if I can do anything)  
Thanks!

have a hole drilled into the bottom of the pot and use a tray to bottom water it.

does it have drainage? the soil might be too damp or it might be getting too much sun (crispy leaves often mean a sunburnt plant)

If you meet the requirements for the plant then you might need to chop and propagate.

Dig it up and put it in water, let it get some better roots and try replanting, this saved mine!

Thank you! I should probably let it drain
