# My rattle snake Plant kept losing leaves so I took it out of its pot…

_Publié par Stephanie le 2025-02-12_

My rattle snake Plant kept losing leaves so I took it out of its pot and checked the roots and replanted it in a smaller pot and then the last leaf died so I'm trying to revive it by adding a top to it for humidity. Do you think it will regrow or am I just wasting my time. Thanks for your help

what kind of water are you using?

#### Stephanie ha respondido el 2025-02-12

I use tap but I let it sit out for a few days before I use it. I live in the PNW so we do get a ton of rain but lately it been dry and very cold cause I am going to start using rain water

The pot looks wayyyy to big, they like to be snug in my experience (I have one rattlesnake)

It had a lot of roots still that's why I did that pot but I will check again cause it gas been awhile. Thanks

I just checked the roots and they look good and there was a tiny bit of growth on it till I knock it off when I was spraying it down with water. 😪 I tried to put it in a smaller pot but there is to many roots.

If the roots are fine it will most likely come back

Thanks that's what I'm hoping for
