# She wasn’t like this yesterday! I just got this plant and watered her…

She wasn’t like this yesterday!

I just got this plant and watered her yesterday. The pot has drain holes and I used bottled water. I have her in my office about 3-4 feet from the window.

Am I doing something wrong? How do I fix her :(

Generally when the ends get crispy it’s under watering (as opposed to overwatering) so she probably just got a bit thirsty before you watered her and will likely bounce back. Maybe leave her alone for a week or so but if you’re still having issues or it gets worse maybe have a look at the roots to check for any signs of rot. If the whole leaf goes yellow just cut it off.

Thank you!

Are you making sure your not allowing the plant to sit in the tray after it drains

#### Plant Mom svarte den 2025-05-07

I let it sit in the sink for about 20 mins before I put it back in the tray. Is that okay?

That’s ideal! Sitting in water is the best to ensure root rot lol

Mine was the same when I first got it but it’s now in a clear nursery pot so I can check it isn’t drying out too much and I make sure I water it before the leaves start to droop and have had no crispy leaves since!  
They like a lot of water, they bounce back easily and you can trim the crispy parts off so that you can’t even tell!

That makes me feel better. Thank you so much!
