It has been getting bright indirect sunlight and I moved it under a grow light for 12 hours a day a few days ago. I have given it succulent food as well. But I don’t know what’s wrong with it. It was all green and fine 4 days ago, and now it looks like this. 🙁 Any advice is appreciated! ![Adjunto 1 de 2](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/p0RkWW379Faoh68ydLsAGcdlgxPYleN0RhzaB8MvE-Y/fodB2bBeTWaAaJbRyMeBgA.webp?size=large) ![Adjunto 2 de 2](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/p0RkWW379Faoh68ydLsAGcdlgxPYleN0RhzaB8MvE-Y/9aOVKeEfQG60a_zqndwZgw.webp?size=large) ## 15 comentarios ### Plant lover!!! comentó el 2024-07-05 Could you have possibly overwatered? #### Maddie respondió el 2024-07-05 Probably 😬 ### eatyacarbs comentó el 2024-07-05 If you only just moved it to the grow light just give it time — that was the issue. These want lots of light, and need to have well draining soil. So maybe a new pot, too #### Maddie respondió el 2024-07-05 Okay, thank you ### Chrissy comentó el 2024-07-05 Does your little pot have drainage? I would cut off the rot, stick the good parts back in well-draining soil after letting the ends callus for a day or 2. They should bounce back. Err on the side of less water/less fertilizer. #### Maddie respondió el 2024-07-05 It doesn’t have drainage. I just repotted it into a pot with drainage. Should I take it back out and cut it or see how it does in it new pot? #### Chrissy respondió el 2024-07-05 The drainage will help a lot. Let the soil dry up and lets us know how it goes. It doesn’t hurt to pull off rotted parts. #### Maddie respondió el 2024-07-05 Okay, I will, thank you ### Plant lover!!! comentó el 2024-07-05 Well I’d say wait a few days and see how it does before cutting it #### Maddie respondió el 2024-07-05 Okay, thank you!! ### Riley comentó el 2024-07-06 All the vines that are dead at the top should be cut and propagated, since they can’t pull any water and nutrients #### Maddie respondió el 2024-07-06 Ok ### exitJiraffe comentó el 2024-07-06 Soil looks really dry. If it were me, I would rehab it by moving it into water to grow new roots and repot it after some time. I have a string of pearls I’ve been growing in water for awhile, very low maintenance. #### Maddie respondió el 2024-07-06 Okay, so after I cut the green part off, do I just set the tips in water? I don’t want to over water it since it is a succulent #### exitJiraffe respondió el 2024-07-07 You pull off the dolphins from the first 2-3 inches or so from where you cut the stems, and place it in water. Since the plant currently has no roots, it will modulate how much water it takes in, no chance of overwatering. --- _La comunidad de Planta (https://getplanta.com).
