# Hello yall! This sensitive plant that I have I’ve wanted since I was…

Hello yall! This sensitive plant that I have I’ve wanted since I was a kid and as you can see, it has unfortunately seen better days.

When I bought her I didn’t realize that one of the plants that I had bought from the same place had spider mites. Soo she was quarantined and given neem. She seemed fine after that and I saw a video that stated that you can cut the stems off of a plant to avoid spider mites or if the leaves are already damaged by them.

I did it this morning… did I kill her?!?

Oh nooo!!!! Is there any life green on it? I would put it outside and let nature take over. I've done that before and it worked!!

I live in Wyoming and in a prairie, so it will die if I leave it outside. 😭 She needs moisture and outside cannot provide that.

I wouldn’t have cut off stems for spider mites. Spider mites are easily eradicated by wiping the leaves off and using a miticide in a routine of every 4 days alternating.

This plant looks far gone, but I think there is hope. Keep it watered and in bright light. See how it goes.

The issue is, wiping the leaves or touching them too often can hurt the plant.

#### Ashley svarede den 2025-07-02

Which plant is this?

It looks like it will be fine just make sure it has ample water. I have noticed with mine that one time of under watering killed all the leaves/branches. It came back, just took some time. If there’s still green as there is in this photo it can come back, it just needs time.
