# had issues w this baby since bringing her home ☹️ I should’ve asked…

_Publicado por K8 el 2023-07-22_

had issues w this baby since bringing her home ☹️ I should’ve asked for help sooner, as I’ve been spraying with neem oil hoping it’d be okay but I took her out of her pot yesterday as she lost ANOTHER leaf- a lot of her roots came away and I cleaned the remainder, dried them a lil and repotted her into dry soil- I’m hoping she recovers quickly I’d just hate for her to lose any more leaves😭

Take heart that if she does lose more leaves while recuperating she’ll grow them back when she gets strong again.

Sounds like an overwatering problem! Those brown spots are from too much water and so likely is the roots falling. I don’t see pests from this picture so the neem may not been needed unless I’ve missed a post.

You’ve done good already by reporting just RESIST WATERING for a while. I just did this to my corn plant. Sucked!

The good thing is these are hardy. It’ll be fine!

I’m sorry :/ I’ve had this same plant from Home Depot for like 2 months now and it hasn’t moved I’m waiting for it to do something 😭 mine dropped a few bottom leaves too
