# Plant friends, looking for some advice. I got this purple waffle back…

Plant friends, looking for some advice. I got this purple waffle back in October and she was thriving. My house doesn’t have a lot of great lighting so I gave her a grow light and a humidifier. Her leaves started turning yellow and dropping like crazy so I moved her outside. I’m in Florida so I thought she’d like the humidity plus more sun. However we got a random cold front and I forgot to bring her in and all her leaves got crinkly and super dry (soil was wet). I’ve brought her back inside, she looked a little root bound when I took her out of the pot but her roots look good. I’ve removed all the dead leaves. Should I cut the steams back too? Advice on how to care for her would be helpful too. Thanks!

Cut off all the dead and dying parts. Remove debris from the soil. Decay can attract pests. You might get new growth from the soil if the roots are not damaged. Just water the soil when it’s dried out and keep it in a well lit location. Check for viable roots in a month if no new growth appears. That will be a sign to give up on it if the roots have also died.

There is a chance if you cut off too much, it will not grow back and just shrivel up.

Repotting, pruned, and cleaned. If you feel like it’s a good save. Good luck happy holidays
