Can anyone help me with my pink Dalmatian? Leaves are turning yellow and brown. I thought I over watered at first, but not sure now.

How big is your pot?

#### Libby replied on 2025-04-10

It’s smaller. That’s a 16oz coffee next to it for reference. I purchased the plant already potted by someone.

With how big and beautiful the leaves are it may be competing for resources in the soil, causing rapid soil drying and could be stressing the roots with the limited space. I’d maybe give it more room and water every five days minimum to be safe. She really is beautiful!

### Libby commented on 2025-04-10

Ok, I will try that! Thank you so much! Yes, she looked so good when I got her and I feel I ruined her already 😭

### Kiwibiwi commented on 2025-04-10

She is definitely just being picky I’m sure she will recover fast!

Does the pot you have it in have holes so that excess water can drain

#### Libby replied on 2025-04-10

It does not! Looks like I’ll need a new pot that is bigger and has holes haha

### Plant\_Lover250 commented on 2025-04-10

My plants need pots with holes too, drilling them this afternoon

#### Libby replied on 2025-04-10

Oh, never thought of this haha maybe I’ll get the drill out too.
