# Just got this polka dot plant off FB market place. The new growth…

_Publié par FlynnRider19 le 2023-08-03_

Just got this polka dot plant off FB market place. The new growth looks healthy but the bottom leaves are wilted and curled. Should I trim them? I’m going to repot her and put her in indirect light. Any other thoughts or tips?

Polka dots are tough to keep happy. I have a hard time keeping them from getting spindly. Snipping off the very tips of the new growth will help.

With mine the bottoms leaves have wrinkled and died off and I just got rid of them my plant is still doing well with new growth I feel like they may just be older leaves getting rid of to make room for more plus they are sensitive lil babes! Could be due to overwatering from the previous owner but they do love their water! Have you repotted her and changed the soil out?

Repotting today. It was definitely in really wet soil. Fingers crossed I can make her happy.
