# Nettie went from this, to this in about 3 days! Help! I didn’t do…

_Posted by Mikel’s Plant Posse on 2026-05-04_

Nettie went from this, to this in about 3 days! Help! I didn’t do anything…no way she was over watered (got her a month and a half ago or more and haven’t given her a drink yet, as was recommended) what’s happening to her?

This could be the result of overwatering before you acquired Nettie. Still in same soil as when bought? If so, soil was probably way too organic and held moisture.

Yeah, I didn’t want to stress her out with a quick repotting…is there hope for a bounce back from what ya see there?

I doubt it. Gain from this experience and get yourself another.
