I’ve been trying to save this poor girl I rescued from Walmart a month ago. She’s in a tropical soil with drainage and I just put her in this smaller pot. My question is if I should cut off the yellow leaves? Should her pot be bigger?? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!🪴

the pot seems to fit her well! The leaves probably won’t return to normal \& could be taking necessary nutrients from the healthy leaves, so cutting them off doesn’t seem like a bad idea!

agreed! cut the dying, leave the pot as is

Thank you! I’ll cut them off.

I’d also keep it near a window for lots of sun.

Not so sure about that, could shock it and burn all the leaves.

agreed! maybe give her a grow light or bright but indirect light?

#### Tantalizea svarade den 2024-03-25

Not in direct sunlight, but indirect sun to help provide energy to grow deeper roots and new leaves.

She’s been in a east facing window but just moved her to my sunroom.
