# HELPPP i got this plant about 5 dats ago and it was fine. I repotted…

_Geplaatst door Betty op 2023-10-24_

HELPPP i got this plant about 5 dats ago and it was fine. I repotted it with garden soil and it’s next to my window.

Does it need water? Did I do something wrong? Saveable? ):

I’m a newbie so by no means take my word on anything lol. However I was having issues with my plants until the other day. I put marbles all through out the soil to give my plants better drainage and easy access to the roots. Years ago I did the same with my aloe and I used well rinsed pea gravel and it took off like crazy. It cuts down on over watering a bit and may give you a better idea on what the issue may be. Good luck!!!

Most indoor plants do not like garden soil (the kind used outside) It’s pretty heavy and not good for drainage. What kind of plant is it? And is it inside or out?

#### Betty antwoordde op 2023-10-25

It’s inside! I used the same soil for another one and it’s been doing great ):

It looks thirsty… I see it’s due to be watered tomorrow. Water today, complete task. And give us an update tomorrow!

IT WORKED

Should I go ahead and water it more often than what planta says?

I don’t necessarily think so. It sounds like it was just a little dry and had some shock from being repotted. I would water as recommended - keeping in mind the suggestions Planta had regarding how dry/moist the soil should be before watering again (ie may need to snooze watering for a couple days from time to time depending on soil before scheduled watering).

Thanks for the update! Glad it perked back up 😎
