# Heyyyy! So I have had this guy for about 6 months, he was doing…

_Posted by Brooke on 2023-10-20_

Heyyyy! So I have had this guy for about 6 months, he was doing perfectly fine till October hit. He was in my window getting sunlight during the day but at night I would move him to a side table so he didn’t get cold in the window. But sadly 2 weeks ago he started looking like this and I’m not sure what I can do to help him. Does anyone know what might be wrong with him and how I can fix him?

Autumn/winter sure can be tough on all of us! Make sure to check the roots, repot witch fresh new soil (in a pot with holes in the bottom) and improve lightning if possible. Moving it to a brighter spot or placing it under a grow light should hopefully bring it back! Keeping my fingers crossed it’s not too late 🤗🤞

Says you watered yesterday. Was this picture taken before or after watering. He likes looks thirsty.

I don’t see any nodes. Did you get any new growth in the 6 months? Check the roots. Sometimes you might find that your new plant is just a bunch of cuttings, some of which are not even rooted.

Yikes, poor baby! Yellow leaves often have to do with watering. How often have you watered him? I would check the roots to make sure they aren’t rotting…

Consider taking cuttings of what’s still healthy, rooting in water and repotting once you have new water roots. Looks like quite a bit needs to be pruned.
