# Got back from vacation and this little croton is being very dramatic…

Got back from vacation and this little croton is being very dramatic after not having water for 2 weeks 😬any tips to revive him other than just water?? It’s been a week since I watered him again and he doesn’t seem to be getting better

Yeah I don’t think he being dramatic. Lol Those leaves might be done. Especially since you watered it already and it didn’t bounce back. Sorry. Are the leaves crispy? There are a few plants that will fall out and have a fit when not watered on time and them bounce back but not once they are crispy. But I could be wrong. Good thing is you have new growth coming in at the top so yay for that!

Thanks for the advice! The leaves are kinda drying out, but are not completely crispy yet so I’m going to continue to hold out hope!! 🤞🏼🙏🙏

As you should. It’s still alive! I’m rooting for you!
