# I went away for a week and my AC broke while i was away and it was 90…

_Posted by Plauntie on 2026-05-30_

I went away for a week and my AC broke while i was away and it was 90 degrees in the house. Some plants were dead. Others were looking perched with yellow, curling leaves, drooping stems, some leaves were brittle and brown. I removed some of the dead leaves, completely yellow leaves and threw away some that could not be saved. I think they were heat shocked and dried out for the extreme heat.

Any luck saving any of these?

I'm sorry to hear all this happened! Yes the ones pictured will likely be just fine! They look a little stressed but will be okay 💚

I repotted her and now she has babies. She’s thriving.
