# Hello!! I’m a NEW plant mommy and I’m worried. About 5 days ago I did…

_Lagt ut av Princess🧘🏽‍♀️ den 2023-07-22_

Hello!! I’m a NEW plant mommy and I’m worried. About 5 days ago I did some pruning “hope I did it right,” and today I used some a neem oil/water mist and wiped her down. I’m assuming with the dead ends not even a week later I’m doing something wrong?? Help please?!!! I also don’t know the name of this plant to add her to my app! If anyone knows that’d be greatly appreciated!  
Thanks in advance😊

Looks like a corn plant

She is stressing. Usually when I get a new plant, I leave them alone for a few days so they can get used to the light and location. Give is a few days. As long as they have light and you watered them it should be fine. These are pretty resilient.

What would cause stress? I’ve had her a little over a month now and until last week I hadn’t done anything besides water her

The it is probably something in the water. Maybe too many sediments or too much chlorine? Depends on where you live. We have hard water here so I have to use rain water for some. Sometimes it could be the temperature of the water so I try to let it come to room temperature it I am getting it from the tap. If nothing then check the roots. Maybe it needs a larger pot.

As a type of dracaena, sometimes these guys will be a little sensitive to tap water and get brown tips from that in my experience. You can water with distilled water or just leave tap water sit out uncovered for a day or two before using.

Thank you! I’ll try the distilled water
