# My Clusia is still in bad shape... hasn't had any new growth in the 8…

_Pubblicato da Embarquez il 2023-08-31_

My Clusia is still in bad shape... hasn't had any new growth in the 8 days since she arrived (shipped from Hawaii to east coast US) and lost a couple leaves due to recurrent scales. There's another leaf I'm keeping an eye on, pic attached. Her bottom leaf turned yellow and kept getting scales so I cut it off. I've been sticking my fingers in the soil and only water if it's not moist. The roots still seem hard and tree-like. Attached pics of her roots from when I got her. Do I just leave her alone to keep adjusting?

Also, she looks glossy because I've sprayed her with neem oil

It’s probably just in shock right now, I’d leave it alone and continue care as normal
